Bookroo's summary

Junior's world is perfect—everyone agrees with him, even his echo. But when a new neighbor moves in, she challenges his beliefs, turning his world upside down. Frustrated, Junior seeks solace in his echo, only to find that constant agreement isn't as satisfying as he thought. Faced with the choice between comfort and growth, Junior must decide if admitting he's wrong is worth gaining a true friend. Will he embrace the challenge or retreat to the safety of his echo's approval?
