This is a novel in verse that pulls at your heartstrings. Our main character ZJ is describing his life as his family finds out that his father is suffering from TBI from playing professional football. This is a story about grief.  About having to adapt to a new way of life and how families are affected by those suffering from TBI. While this book covers a very serious topic, I think that this book is important for kids to read to learn empathy for things happening within their friends' lives that they may not be aware of.
