The Weight of Words
Description
Being a freshman can be HARD. Being a freshman who is shy, alone, and struggling with dyslexia is even HARDER. Others say he is different and Phillip feels safer in the comfort of his own company… as lonely as that may be. Yet, things start to change for the better when Phillip meets Delanie, Nick, and Tucker.
With his mother unwilling to give him more freedom, Phillip refuses to let fear get in the way and gets involved with the school play: allowing him some bonding time with Delanie, and feelings begin to blossom.
Yet, as they form a hopeful bond, Phillip learns something that could force him to choose between his new friend and newfound crush. Can harmony be restored? Will he finally have a date for the formal? Or was being lonely easier? One thing is for sure, freshman year is Phillips' biggest challenge yet.
