Synopsis

Gordy couldn't be more unhappy about moving back to his hometown of College Hill, where everybody knows his family's troubled history. In North Carolina, Gordy's life had finally seemed to be on the right track. But in College Hill, Gordy and his sister, June, move into a cramped apartment with their brother Stu and his new family. The principal at Gordy's school immediately has it in for him, his old pals encourage him to cause trouble, and his one-time nemesis, Elizabeth, hates him more than ever. It seems to Gordy as though the whole world is against him. Will he slip back into his old trouble-making ways for good, or will he be able to keep growing into the successful person he was striving to become?

It is not your typical ghost story from Mary Downing Hahn. I would classify this book as a sixth grade book.

I think kids today could possibly ha......more

This is a young adult book that is old but still relevant. It follows a young teenager through a troubled few years of school. He makes a lot of bad choices but ultimately has personal growth and moves beyond his personal hardships.......more
