Me Three

More about the book

Allegations against his father turn eleven-year-old Rodney's life upside down in this powerful and surprisingly funny novel about new beginnings, friendships, and a fresh perspective. Starting sixth grade in a new school and state, Rodney faces challenges in a place that feels old and unwelcoming, where even his best friend has stopped writing. Just months earlier, he was popular in Las Vegas, living with his mom, older sister, and successful poker player dad. Now, everything has changed—his mom insists they keep their real last name a secret due to something involving his dad. While his father claims it’s a misunderstanding, he is now in a center for those facing issues like addiction or misunderstanding. Rodney believes this situation will soon resolve, allowing them to return to their previous life. However, he can only suppress the truth for so long as he navigates the complexities of his new reality.
