The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn.

Fourteen-year-old Stark McClellan (nicknamed Stick because he’s tall and thin) is bullied for being "deformed" - he was born with only one ear. His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love - and his brother.

When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again.

Meh
The portagonist is insufferable. There's a difference between reading about a flawed character and whatever this kid was. He never learned what not to say. Well maybe he did by the end. I couldn't finish it, but I was very close. He hadn't shown progress by the time I quit, so if he in fact learned from his mistakes it was to late to make the story compelling.
I also didn't love the narration, but it might be more the words that he has to read than the performance it self. Except every time "Okay" somehow always scrunching his shoulders..
Usually this kind of book would've been right up my alley, but I never seemed to actually enjoy it.
