🔀 About the Book
As high school deepens, Harold and Murphy drift toward entirely different interests. Harold must learn that a friendship changing shape doesn't mean it has failed.
Harold Mitchell is fourteen years old and stubbornly refusing to accept that things are changing. While his best friend Murphy is suddenly obsessed with new hobbies and new people, Harold tries desperately (and disastrously) to force everything to stay exactly the way it was in primary school.
This is the story of what happens when growing up pulls you in different directions, and the hilarious, bittersweet reality of learning to let friendships evolve.
