Now in a new paperback edition! From the award-winning author, Jill MacLean, comes a free-verse story about a boy, a dog, and the way they save each other.
“The hard-won hopefulness of Nix’s growth will linger with [readers] long after the poetry ends.”—School Library Journal
Nix Humbolt doesn’t talk much. He lies low at school, and at home, Nix finds refuge in his father’s woodshop where he builds intricate boxes and tables—and avoids arguments with his older sister, Roxy. She is loud, confident, rebellious, and the polar-opposite of Nix. Though he loves her, she also annoys him in the way only a sibling seems to know how to—especially when she decides to date Bryan Sykes. The guy is seriously toxic, but Roxy won’t listen to facts, so what can Nix do? The only battles he ever fights are on his Xbox—until the day he finds the guts to fight for Swiff Dunphy’s neglected dog. Twig won’t win any beauty contests, but Nix is determined to save her. And when tragedy strikes, Twig might just be the one who saves him.
Award-winning author, Jill MacLean, brings Nix’s story to life with poignancy and heart.
