A resourceful teenager in rural Vermont struggles to hold on to the family home while his mom recovers from addiction in this striking debut young adult novel.

Told in a wry, cautious first-person voice that meanders like a dog circling to be sure it's safe to lie down, Vermont author, Kenneth M. Cadow's resonant debut brings an emotional and ultimately hopeful story of one teen's resilience in the face of unthinkable hardships.

A 2023 National Book Award Finalist A Michael L. Printz Honor Book Copies of the book are available at the library. For more information, please contact Youth Services Librarian Nancy Rumery at (802) 253-6145. Made possible by the Friends of Stowe Free Library.
