After an incident involving the boy's bathroom and a terribly sad book his teacher is forcing them to read, Hank is left with a week's suspension and a slightly charred hardcover--and, it turns out, the attention of new girl Maisie Huang. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaisie has been on the lookout for a kid with the meatballs to help her with a very important mission: Saving her neighbor's dog, Booler. Booler has seizures, and his owner, Mr. Jorgensen, keeps him tied to a tree all day and night because of them. It's enough to make Hank even sadder than that book does--he has autism, and he knows what it's like to be treated poorly because of something that makes you different. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut different is not less. And Hank is willing to get into even \u003ci\u003emore \u003c\/i\u003etrouble to prove it. Soon he and Maisie are lying, brown-nosing, baking, and cow milking all in the name of saving Booler--but not everything is as it seems. Booler might not be the only one who needs saving. And being a hero can look a lot like being a friend.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargaret Finnegan is the author of\u003ci\u003e New Kids and Underdogs \u003c\/i\u003eand Junior Library Guild Selections \u003ci\u003eWe Could Be Heroes \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Susie B.
