Between going out with his celebrity crush and his mum's campaign to be the next town mayor, Danny's got a lot to learn about life in the spotlight.
Tento autor sa ponoril do bohatej tapisérie života, inšpirovaný rozvetvenou rodinou a rozmanitými postavami, ktoré formovali jeho detstvo. Jeho próza sa vyznačuje všímavosťou k drobným detailom a zmyslom pre absurdný humor. Čerpá z vlastných cestovateľských zážitkov a rozširuje ich do rozprávaní, ktoré skúmajú tému hľadania domova a ľudskej sounáležitosti. Jeho diela sú oslavou obyčajného života, napísané s neotrelým pohľadom a hlbokým pochopením ľudskej povahy.


Between going out with his celebrity crush and his mum's campaign to be the next town mayor, Danny's got a lot to learn about life in the spotlight.
Three unlikely friends become partners in heartbreak and hope during a middle school pottery class in this powerful, poignant novel—perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Lynda Mullaly Hunt. At West Beacon Middle School, eighth graders Oscar Villanueva, Riley Baptiste, and Noah Wright become unlikely friends during Introduction to Clay class. Oscar, a football star, just lost his little sister to cancer. Riley's been dragged away from Philadelphia by her single mom to a new life in West Beacon, a tiny Pennsylvania coal town that's smaller than Riley's old school. Noah's spent his whole life as a homeschooler and just started West Beacon Middle School as a result of his parents' train wreck of a divorce. Through art, football, failure, faith, and trust, the friends help one another to piece things back together again. In true friendship, they also discover that some injuries may never heal, some things can never be unbroken—and that's okay too.
