Summary: Jeremy Stone is a First Nations teenager trying to find out where he fits in the world, particularly as a loner in a new high school. In this contemporary free verse novel, Jeremy is guided by voices from the spirit world, especially that of his grandfather, Old Man, as he explores a new relationship with the intense Caitlan, deals with the school bully, and tries to keep his family together.
