Sixth-grader Rory's story of his impossible-to-hide speech challenge and middle-school drama is perfect for fans of Sharon Draper's Out of My Mind. Rory still can't say his r's, but that's just the beginning of his troubles. First Rory's ex-best-friend Brent started hanging out with the mean lacrosse kids. But then, a terrible accident takes Brent out of school, and Rory struggles with how to feel. Rory and his new speech teacher put their heads together on Rory's r's (as well as a serious love of hard rock and boxing legend Muhammad Ali), but nobody seems to be able to solve the problem of Rory's complicated feelings about Brent. Brent's accident left him with a brain injury and he's struggling. Should Rory stand up for his old friend at school--even after Brent failed to do the same for him?

Back Cover Summary My Story I have heard people say that if you want to live, then you shouldn’t walk into the light. Some have said that if you want a better life, step into the light. There is where you will shine. Then there is that old saying, “There is a light at the end of every tunnel.” As for me personally, I say that searching for lights always leads to darkness. It always leads you back to the truth and the reality of it all. My whole life has been filled with lights that have led me down a path of both good and evil. Some were put out by others, some I turned off. I tried to stay in the excitement of the night lights in search of a way to ease the pain of all the things I have seen and done. I’ve tried to forget about the lights I saw at a young age for the very first time. I saw the taillights of my mother’s car as she drove off in search of her own light. That was the beginning of a new me. No one can know about the secrets that we keep buried deep down inside us, deep down where the light still flickers. I would like to share a story with you about heartache, mistrust, greed, and pain. A story about my search for happiness and how I had to walk through the flames. I was still in darkness even when I tried to walk in the light. Let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Antonio Brown, a.k.a. 45, but you can just call me Tony.
