- Great product!
Winner of the Coretta Scott King / John Steptoe New Talent Award, this acclaimed, multicultural book about a biracial boy with a passion for science will resonate with children everywhere who canâ‚¬tâ‚¬"or wonâ‚¬tâ‚¬"be defined by categories.
Â
Ten-year-old Brendan Buckley is a self-declared scientist: asking questions and looking for answers, but most of all struggling against the overprotective behavior of his parents. Up until now, he has never even met his grandfatherâ‚¬"the grandfather his mother wonâ‚¬t even speak of.
Â
A chance encounter brings Brendan and his grandfather together where Brendan initiates a relationship with estranged grandfather, Ed DeBose. While they share a passion for geology, they do not share the color of their skin; Brendanâ‚¬s skin is brown, not pink like Ed DeBoseâ‚¬s. Pretty soon, Brendan sets out to uncover the reason behind Edâ‚¬s absence but soon discovers that family secrets canâ‚¬t be explained by science.
Â
