Zachary and his dad move to Falls, Connecticut, to start over after Zachary's mom left.
Life in Falls, Connecticut is very different. First, they live in a house and not a trailer. Everyone knows everyone else. And then there's Rachel Spinelli. Rachel, her dad, and her brother Teddy live across the street and Rachel wants to make sure Teddy is treated nicely by Zachary and his dad. Teddy is "special" and Rachel doesn't want Zachary being mean to him. Zachary is actually happy to be friends with them both.
Nothing happens the way he expects, even when his mom shows up.
A times funny, heart-wrenching, and always enjoyable, this is a realistic story of a high school freshman settling into a new start. Highly enjoyable.

I'm not that familiar with this book, but it interests me... The title is unique. At first, I thought that this post is all about people punching each other. LOL! Books based on real-life stories are enjoyable to read. There are lessons that one can learn by reading between the lines.
