I killed my brother.</b><br /><br /> It's the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It'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.<br /><br /> Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin's chores. And Sammy is all too eager - as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother's Eagle status.<br /><br /> When Calvin meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for <i>Goosebumps</i> 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's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey...<br /><br /><b>"Tender, direct, and honest."</b>—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br /><br /><b>"A moving and ultimately hopeful book."</b>—<i>Booklist</i><br /><br /> Check out Alex Lyttle's other book:<br /><i>The Rise of Winter</i>
