"An honest portrayal of love, loss, and friendship."— School Library Journal

My name is Calvin Sinclair, I&apos;m eleven years old and I have a confession... I killed my brother.

 It&apos;s the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He&apos;s recently moved from a big city to a small town and there&apos;s nothing to do. It&apos;s hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother, Sammy, who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop.

 Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin&apos;s chores. And Sammy is all too eager - as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother&apos;s Eagle status.

 When Calvin meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. Cal feels guilty but not enough to change. At least not until a diagnosis makes things at home start falling apart and he&apos;s left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey...
