Loose Threads: A Story of Friendship, Blame, and Truth
Ethan and Brian have been best friends for as long as Ethan can remember. After school and on weekends, they explore their small Maine town, ride their bikes, and escape to their favorite secret spot—a rope swing above an old quarry. It’s the place where they laugh the loudest and feel the most free.
Then one afternoon, everything goes wrong.
After a tragic accident, Brian is gone, and Ethan is left behind with grief, shock, and a terrible new blame. Some people in town—and even some at school—say Ethan should have stopped it. Others know the that he tried. That he did everything he could.
As rumors spread and friendships are tested, Ethan must find a way to live with loss while standing up to unfair judgment. With the help of a compassionate teacher and a few quiet allies, he begins to understand that grief doesn’t always tell the truth—and that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
Loose A Story of Friendship, Blame, and Truth is a powerful, tender middle-grade novel about loyalty, resilience, and learning to hold onto what matters, even when everything feels like it’s coming apart.
