Who the Man
ByPublisher Description
Thirteen-year-old middle-schooler Earl has the body and facial scruff of a man—and this gets him into trouble. Everyone thinks Earl's a tough guy, but he's just trying to get by. Thinking he knows what's right from wrong—and using his fists to prove his point—earns him a week's suspension from school. Earl thinks he'll have a relaxing week, but things soon slip out of his control when his home life starts to fall apart. He may be as big as a grown-up, but Earl will learn that being a man means more than how you look on the outside.
