Bookroo's summary

Zavion, uprooted by Hurricane Katrina, and Henry, grieving his best friend's death, are drawn together by fate. As Henry searches for a lost marble in New Orleans, their paths cross, sparking a journey of healing and unexpected connections. Can they find solace in each other's stories and the magic of new beginnings?

From the publisher

The world, itself, seems to bring together Henry, whose best friend died near their home in the mountains of Vermont, and Zavion, who lost his home in Hurricane Katrina, so that the boys can help each other heal.
