Coming August 27, 2019
Josh just moved to a new town for a new start and he is not looking forward to it. The last school kids called him Kleenex and he saw a therapist because he saw imaginary people. The one that was the most common was Big Brother. He "buried" him in the back yard (a rock) and then he was gone, but now he is showing up again and Josh can't seem to get away from him. He also starts seeing another girl, "sparkly girl". Josh has trouble fitting in, but Big Brother gets him riding his bike, going to a football game, and trying to socialize and make friends.
Lucas Hernandez is in Josh's class and the story starts getting told from both boy's points of view. They both see the "sparkly girl" and the gorilla in the video (see below), but neither of them know it. They have more in common than they know and eventually find that out. The story is great for middle graders and is mostly realistic with a little supernatural thrown in, but you don't find that out til later.
