Toby Wilson is having the toughest summer of his life. His mother left for good; his best friend' s brother was killed. Then Zachary Beaver, the fattest boy in the world, arrives in Toby' s sleepy Texas town. And it' s Zachary Beaver who turns the town of Antler upside down and leaves everyone, especially Toby, changed forever. With understated elegance, Kimberly Willis Holt tells a compelling coming-of-age story about a thirteen-year-old boy struggling to find himself in an imperfect world.
