Bookroo's summary
In Tuscaloosa, high school senior James is popular, while his brother Alex feels isolated and desperate. As Alex grapples with his struggles, a young neighbor, Henry, and James's friend Nathen introduce him to cross-country running. This unexpected journey not only challenges Alex but also brings the brothers closer, offering a chance for healing and understanding. Can they overcome their differences and find common ground?
From the publisher
JAMES AND ALEX have barely anything in common anymore–least of all their experiences in high school, where James is a popular senior and Alex is suddenly an outcast. But at home, there is Henry, the precocious 10-year-old across the street, who eagerly befriends them both. And when Alex takes up running, there is James’s friend Nathen, who unites the brothers in moving and unexpected ways.
