Robert Carter has lived in the small town of Haverford, Maine, all of his life. His father owns the local
amusement park that brings the off‐the‐beaten‐track town to life each summer. On the first day of eighth grade, Robert is braced once again to endure the physical bullying of his nemesis, but life changes when a new boy in town, Nathan Tilly, rises to his defense. Recently arrived from Texas, Nathan is as fearless and impetuous as Robert is cautious, and the opposites are soon fast friends. Not long after, tragedy strikes Nathan’s family, and the bond between the two boys grows even stronger in the face of life‐changing events that neither could have anticipated at so young an age.
Robert’s family has its own cross to bear: his older brother, Liam, is slowly succumbing to degenerative
muscular dystrophy. Though he eschews pity through his fierce independence and devotion to his beloved rock and roll bands, Liam nonetheless has drawn most of the attention and emotional resources of the family away from Robert. With Nathan by his side, however, Robert for the first time begins to witness the possibilities of life. Nathan, like his father before him, is obsessed with kites and flying, and his unfettered need to escape gravity’s pull will culminate in a moment of liberation both exhilarating and dangerous.
