About this story
Some stories are too important to keep. At Westbrook Middle School, Andre is just the point guard with the red high-tops, and that's how he likes it. Nobody needs to know about the trash bag he once carried his clothes in. Then a scared new sixth grader shows up holding one. Andre has a choice: keep his story locked away, or share it so one kid feels less alone. A story about sharing and telling your story. Ages 10-13, Grades 5-8.
