Peter is a little bit of a nerd, a little bit of a sports nut, a little bit of a photographer, and a little bit of a family guy, but he finds out through his freshman year how to survive without something he always thought he'd have in his life and find a passion in something else. Peter's voice rings true throughout the book and is the type of protagonist I like to see in books - real. What Kellee Thinks: This book beautifully intertwines 4 topics (photography, baseball, dementia and first loves) into a relatable teenage story. Is there life after sports? Why has his grandfather suddenly given him thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment? And is it his imagination, or is the super-hot star of the girls' swim team flirting with him, right in front of the amazing new girl in his photography class? In his new novel, teen author Jordan Sonnenblick performs his usual miraculous feat: exploring deep themes of friendship, romance, family, and tragedy, while still managing to be hilariously funny. When a freakish injury ends his pitching career, Peter has some major things to figure out. Meet Peter Friedman, high school freshman.
