Sixth-grader Maverick Falconer carries a toy sheriff’s badge that was given to him by his father. It reminds him of his dad, who was killed in Afghanistan. And he also keeps it to inspire himself to make things better for the people around him. But somehow, things go disastrously wrong.
I think many young people will be able to relate to the situations that Maverick finds himself in, and hopefully some readers will be inspired to kindness and bravery.
Disclosure of material connection: My taxes support local libraries’ acquisition of this and other resources. I consider the access I enjoy to be a “priceless” return on my investment.
