Fourteen-year-old, Antonio “Toni” Caffarelli-DeSonto is a nomad, not by choice, it’s an honour his parents king and queen of their abodes (wherever they maybe) force on him.
Toni has lived in four countries, attended thirteen different schools, and never got a chance to become friends with anyone. Instead, he was stuck with the ‘new kid’ moniker.
All Toni wants is to have one memorable school year before he’s whisked off somewhere new.
Despite his lack of social skills, Toni becomes part of Manhattan Prep schoolyard kingpin, Avery Sanders crew.
Toni’s sure he can keep from pummeling Avery long enough to enjoy his eight grade year, as part of the in crowd.
When Toni meets Lizzie Kennedy, Avery’s crush he suddenly finds himself torn between her and his dream.
On top of trying to hold on to his place in Avery’s crew, a family secret is about to explain all those years on the run, and force Toni to learn what it means to grow up Caffarelli-DeSonto.
