While this book is directed towards the young adult audience, I could really feel the discomfort the young man felt about his peers and his father. With him and his family on the way to visit his mother's family, I get a sense that things will soon change for him. I love the colors and graphics on the cover showing a new friend and good things to come, hopefully. I love the references to Star Trek and chuckled. It looks like this book will be entertaining and heartfelt.
