Description
Newt's older brother, Chris, has been the star of the town's high school football team for a couple years now. They had never won a game against their biggest archrival until Chris changed things for the team. On the biggest football night of the year, Chris gets knocked out and sent into a coma. No matter how many times he asks, Newt is not allowed to visit his brother in the hospital. While his parents try to juggle life, work, and visits to the hospital, Newt's friends help him design a costume for Halloween. While he was in the costume, he realized it gave him more confidence and helped him to have peace about his brother. If the costume could make him feel this way, then he wasn't going to take it off. He wasn't pretending to anybody. He was just Captain Nobody. 195 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
