Library Journal, starred review
The critically acclaimed author of Lily and Dunkin delivers another
heartfelt story that will remind readers you never know who needs a
friend the most.
Miles is an anxious boy who loves his family's bowling center--even
though he could be killed by a bolt of lightning or a wild animal that
escaped from the Philadelphia Zoo on the way there.
Amy is the new girl at school who wishes she didn't have to live above
her uncle's funeral home and tries to write her way to her own
happily-ever-after.
Then Miles and Amy meet in the most unexpected way . . . and that's when
it all begins. . . .
