La nueva y fascinante novela en verso de la autora de Starfish / Estrella de mar, obra ganadora del honor Printz, nos cuenta la historia de Joe, un chico que a pesar de las duras condiciones en las que vive, enfrenta cada tormenta que la vida le arroja.

Joe Oak está acostumbrado a vivir en una eterna inestabilidad. Su madre constantemente huye de casa y lo abandona, por lo que no puede contar con ella. Ahora, para colmo, él y su querida abuela se han quedado sin casa. Afortunadamente, Joe encuentra consuelo en las lecciones de los cómics: los superhéroes tienen muchos momentos de "y entonces, boom!", cuando todo amenaza con colapsar. Sin embargo, se levantan después de cada caída.

Su amigo Nick les ayuda a encontrar un hogar en el parque de casas rodantes donde también vive. Pero las cosas vuelven a desmoronarse cuando Joe se queda completamente solo y debe valerse por sí mismo. Atemorizado por la idea de ser acogido por el gobierno como huérfano y con esperanza de que su mamá vuelva, mantiene en secreto sus problemas. Pero el tiempo se agota, los pagos mensuales se acumulan y el año escolar está a punto de terminar, lo que significa que no habrá más comidas gratuitas.

El destino tiene varias sorpresas preparadas para Joe: desde la aparición de unos cachorros, a los que no se atreve a dejar solos, hasta un tornado que arrasa con lo poco que le queda. Cuando parece que todo está perdido, su vida toma un rumbo que no podría haber imaginado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A gripping new novel in verse by the author of the Printz Honor-winning Starfish, featuring a poverty-stricken boy who bravely rides out all the storms life keeps throwing at him

Joe Oak is used to living on unsteady ground. His mom can't be depended on as she never stays around long once she gets "the itch," and now he and his beloved grandmother find themselves without a home. Fortunately, Joe has an outlet in his journals and drawings and takes comfort from the lessons of comic books--superheroes have a lot of "and then, boom" moments, where everything threatens to go bust but somehow they land on their feet. And that seems to happen a lot to Joe too, as in this crisis his friend Nick helps them find a home in his trailer park. But things fall apart again when Joe is suddenly left to fend for himself. He doesn't tell anyone he's on his own, as he fears foster care and has hope his mom will come back. But time is running out--bills are piling up, the electricity's been shut off, and the school year's about to end, meaning no more free meals. The struggle to feed himself gets intense, and Joe finds himself dumpster diving for meals. He's never felt so alone--until an emaciated little dog and her two tiny pups cross his path. And fate has even more in store for Joe, because an actual tornado is about to hit home--and just when it seems all is lost, his life turns in a direction that he never could have predicted.
