From the Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street
comes this moving picture book about the perils of perfectionism.
Lucas goes to the perfect school in the perfect neighborhood. And when
he gets perfect grades, he feels like he fits right in. But life at
home is not so perfect. His dad’s old work truck keeps breaking
down. His mom works long hours at her job at the diner. And Lucas has
to share his small room with his baby sister. One night, Lucas is
awakened by a strange light, which he follows all the way to the place
where the perfect people live. Everything there is more beautiful than
he could have imagined. But the longer Lucas stays, the more he
wonders what it really means to be perfect. Does it mean never making
mistakes? Does it mean rejecting his bustling neighborhood and his
loving family? And what’s so great about being perfect, anyway? From
award-winning talents Matt de la Peña and Paola Escobar comes this
heartwarming, uplifting picture book about a boy, at home in two
worlds, discovering what it means to be at home with himself.
