Overview

A story about bullying, loss, bravery, courage, and hope. Eleven-year-old Michael Morton is a quiet kid with a big imagination-and a big problem. Bullied at school and grieving the loss of his mother and grandfather, he finds comfort in drawing superheroes and confiding in an old willow tree he calls Weeper. After a fall from the tree leaves him unconscious, Michael awakens in a dreamlike world where he sees his mother again. She reminds him of his strength-and of a mysterious key he once found hidden in his father's drawer. When he wakes, Michael must summon the courage to face his fears and discover what the key truly unlocks. Weeper is a heartfelt middle-grade story about loss, resilience, and the quiet bravery it takes to stand up for yourself.
