      Du haut de ses onze ans, Herman n'a pas la langue dans sa poche. Sa vision du monde et les questions qu'il se pose en désarçonnent plus d'un. Son père arrive-t-il à voir l'Amérique quand il conduit sa grue ? Ruby, sa camarade de classe, a-t-elle vraiment des nids d'oiseaux dans sa tignasse rousse ? Quand, un jour, sa mère l'emmène chez le médecin, le constat est sans appel : Herman est atteint d'une maladie rare qui peut entraîner une calvitie définitive. Et de fait, un matin, des poignées entières de cheveux gisent sur son oreiller. Un bonnet résolument vissé sur la tête, Herman fait tour à tour l'expérience des sarcasmes, de la honte et, pire, de la pitié. Une nouvelle question s'impose à lui : va-t-il pouvoir s'accepter tel qu'il est désormais ?
