Bookroo's summary

Grape is ready for junior high, but his best friend has moved away, leaving him to tackle new challenges alone. As he navigates school, family, and his bar mitzvah training, Grape's crush is distracted by a new kid. Amidst the chaos, he forms an unexpected friendship with Heidi, a daring foster kid, who helps him discover life's true values. Will Grape find his place in this whirlwind of change?

From the publisher

Good news! Principal Clarkson says Grape is ready for junior high. He doesn’t have to go to Riverwash, the school for troubled kids! But there’s also bad news. Grape’s best friend, Lou, has moved to New York, leaving Grape alone to ride his Evel Knievel bike, sail with his family, and start his bar mitzvah training–all this while navigating a new school with new teachers, and, of course, the “spiders” in his brain. To make matters worse, Clair, Grape’s crush, has eyes on Maxwell, the new kid with feathered hair. Sherman and Bully Jim provide some company, but it’s his bond with Heidi–a wheelie-popping, cigarette-smoking foster kid–that teaches him what matters most in life. Full of hilarity and sadness, confusion and love, Grape, Again! is an unforgettable coming-of-age story.
