When you're fourteen and your dad is an astronaut, it can be tough to figure out who you are. Now 18 years old, Steve York is looking back on his high school years to write a 100-page essay that is his key to graduation. So we walk along with him through the four years of high school and feel his struggles with family and girls and his own sense of himself. The author reaches deeply into the growing up process, and readers will recognize and empathize with the eddies in the high school currents and in this young man's life.
