Average rating3.8
Three years ago, Bear McKenna s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they ve muddled through, but since he s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn t actually doing much living with a few exceptions, he s retreated from the world, and he s mostly okay with that. Until Otter comes home. Otter is Bear s best friend s older brother, and as they ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect. This time, though, there s nowhere to run from the depth of emotion between them. Bear still believes his place is as the Kid s guardian, but he can t help thinking there could be something more for him in the world... something or someone. "

This book was a bit too sappy and long-winded for my tastes. Parts of it were really good, but then there'd be a long emotional monologue that I had a hard time believing anyone would really say. I also found it unlikely that any 8-9 yr old, no matter how smart, would say the things Ty did. What got on my nerves the most, though, was the many times too often repeated cycle of Bear deciding to come out or speak his true feelings, only to chicken out or be thwarted at the last second by an interruption. It just kept happening and got old fast.
[3.8] hums the short guitar riff jingle that plays at the start of each chapter in the audio dududuuuu~
