Lost in the Sun

From the author ofÂ A Tangle of KnotsÂ andÂ Absolutely Almost, a touching story about a boy who won't let one tragic accident define him.

Everyone says that middle school is awful, but Trent knows nothing could be worse than the year he had in fifth grade, when a freak accident on Cedar Lake left one kid dead, and Trent with a brain full of terrible thoughts he can't get rid of. Trentâ€™s pretty positive the entire disaster was his fault, so for him middle school feels like a fresh start, a chance to prove to everyone that he's not the horrible screw-up they seem to think he is.Â
Â
If only Trent could make that fresh start happen.
Â
It isnâ€™t until Trent gets caught up in the whirlwind that is Fallon Littleâ€”the girl with the mysterious scar across her faceâ€”that things begin to change. Because fresh starts arenâ€™t always easy. Even in baseball, when a fly ball gets lost in the sun, you have to remember to shift your position to find it.
