To dispel boredom while waiting for tenth grade to begin, Bobby and his friends create an imaginary kid named Rowan Pohi (thatโs IHOP backwards) and apply to the prestigious Whitestone Prep in Rowanโs name. When, surprisingly, Rowanโs application is accepted, Bobby impulsively reinvents himself as Rowan and embarks on an edgy life of deception in the rarefied world of Whitestone. Told with Ralph Fletcherโs trademark blend of humor and depth, the story of Rowanโs rise and fall is a funny, poignant, and suspenseful riff on the adolescent search for identity.
The e-book includes a sample chapter from Flying Solo by Ralph Fletcher.
