Eric is a nice kind hearted kid but something is different about him, he is tall for his age and is very skinny. Because that he is often bullied. will things change for him when he goes to a new school called Light of life education center? I love the book but the ending was not great I wanted to know more at the end.

I read this book a long time ago, when I was working at another library in Arizona. I remembered I liked it and I identified not only with Eric but also with Cynthia. I liked it that Eric went from being a lonely kid who idolized Quatre-Cinq, his favorite musician to a young man who found something special in himself.
