Produktbeschreibung

Hobbs Crane doesn't like distractions. He lives for football, rules the basketball court, and does his best to avoid the neighbor girl with the Jupiter-sized crush on him. With a new kid out to steal his starting basketball position, Hobbs needs to feel in control again. Then Hobbs finds a boy living inside a giant blue spruce on an empty city lot who becomes the biggest distraction of all. How long has he been there? Where did he come from? And why does he seem to be following Hobbs?

The boy named Up is in survival mode. Leaving his real name and a neglectful home life behind, Up is running away to Florida to find his older sister who left home years ago. But he's hungry and desperate, and he finds the overgrown evergreen next to the old factory the perfect hideout until he makes a plan.

Can Hobbs and Up help each other face their own uncertain futures while forging an unlikely friendship? Or are they too different?

Autorenporträt

Dawn Malone is the author of the middle-grade novels BINGO SUMMER and THE UPSIDE OF DOWN. The first book in her contemporary adult romance series, LOVE LIKE WATER, releases in August 2018, followed by LOVE LIKE FIRE in November 2018.

A former newspaper reporter, Dawn has written on a wide range of subjects, from a creole cooking school in New Orleans to award-winning irises in a Wisconsin greenhouse. Writing those articles and working other odd jobs over the years - cake assembly line worker, yogurt seller, substitute teacher − helped her develop the quirky characters that populate her stories. Her work has appeared in the Wisconsin State Journal, the Chicken Soup for the Soul Think Positive for Kids edition, Highlights for Children, and many other magazines and newspapers. When she's not writing, Dawn loves hiking when someone else carries her backpack. She lives in central Illinois. Visit her blog, Here's the Story, at https://dawnmalone.blogspot.com.
