About this listen

“A funny, warm-hearted and engaging story.” (BlueInk Review)

"A really fun book to read.” (Jackie Timmons, Readers’ Favorite)

Life is pretty bad when you’re jealous of an old mutt and an autistic brother, Benjamin thinks to himself.

If only he knew how to talk to girls, he could achieve both his goals: get a reasonably hot-looking girlfriend and thus get respect from his wrestling teammates. But communication doesn’t come easy in the McDowell family.

Ben’s mother has better conversations with Rosie the dog than she does with him. His older brother, Johnny, can only communicate by singing Beatles' songs. His younger tattletale sister, Elizabeth, has her own problems dealing with the gossipy dance team. Ben’s father, meanwhile, keeps his wishes for Ben short and to the point: make top grades and be a champion wrestler.

Through his love of reading, Ben meets Emily, and life takes a happy turn, until circumstances beyond their control intervene. Find out how Ben learns to deal with his family drama, a school bully, and most of all, with his own insecurities.
