Julia Charles, Foreign Rights Manager "This witty story upends clichés and classic conventions with endearing, polar-opposite protagonists. A sweet, poetic adventure full of surprises for young readers."

It all begins one morning at the start of summer. Timoti writes poems and lives alone with his father, who never answers his questions. Until one day, when a girl with a ponytail pops up at his window. Together, they set off on a crazy adventure that takes them from surprises to revelations.
