What a wonderful story of how true friends and love can bring you through tough times. Finley loves basketball and uses it as an escape from some of the tragedy of his life. His coach asks him to befriend Russ, a boy dealing with his own tragic loss. Russ, who insists on being called "Boy 21," has lost his parents and is now struggling to deal with the world. He claims he is only here on earth for a short time in order to learn about human emotions and that his family will soon return from space to get him. Finley and his girlfriend attempt to help Russ through his tough time while dealing with their own family issues. I just loved the characters in this book. I like stories that delve into how people deal with grief and overwhelming situations. This was a truly satisfying read.
