Find yourself. Find your place. Find your brave.
This uplifting tale, which award-winning author Leslie
Connor dubbed "a perfectly paced journey of the heart" is perfect for fans of
Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.
Cyrus Olson's dad is a hero--Northfield's former
football star and now one of their finest firefighters. Everyone expects Cyrus to follow in his dad's
record-breaking footsteps, and he wishes they were right--except he's never been
brave like that. But this year, with the help of a stray dog, a few new friends,
a little bit of rhythm, and a lot of nerve, he may just discover that
actually...he is.
Lauded as "remarkable" by the New York Times Book Review, Lindsey Stoddard's heartfelt stories continue
to garner critical acclaim, and her latest novel will have fans new and old rooting
for Cyrus and Parker's special bond and the courage it helps them both to find.
