You might just finish it in one sitting. Torrey Maldonado understands the kids he writes for at the deepest level." -Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor-winning author of  The Inquisitor's Tale  The author of  What Lane?  and  Tight  delivers a fast-paced read that packs a punch about a boy figuring out how to best use his hands-to build or to knock down.  Trev would do anything to protect his mom and sisters, especially from his stepdad. But his stepdad's return stresses Trev-because when he left, he threatened Trev's mom. Rather than live scared, Trev takes matters into his own hands, literally. He starts learning to box to handle his stepdad. But everyone isn't a fan of his plan, because Trev's a talented artist, and his hands could actually help him build a better future. And they're letting him know. But their advice for some distant future feels useless in his reality right now. Ultimately, Trev knows his future is in his hands, and his hands are his own, and  he  has to choose how to use them.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2053332</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2053332</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maldonado, Torrey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2053332152</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Lane?]]></title><description><![CDATA["STAY IN YOUR LANE."
