Perfect for you if...

You're dealing with a parent's mental health struggle or a family falling apart, and you need a book that doesn't shy away from that mess.
You love coming-of-age stories where the emotional weight feels real, not wrapped up in neat conclusions.
You appreciate stories set in small towns where everyone's business is somehow everyone's problem.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a quick, uplifting read with a clear resolution and everything resolved by the final chapter.
You're looking for a story where a child fixes their parents' relationship through effort or cleverness.
You prefer stories with major plot twists or high stakes; this is quietly devastating, not explosive.

About this book

Benny's parents are separating after a conflict over a mysterious splinter believed to be part of an important relic. His mother leaves home, while his father begins hoarding items ranging from pizza boxes to old motorcycle parts. As clutter accumulates in the house and his father becomes increasingly distant, Benny struggles with whether he can change anything about his situation. Meanwhile, a local teacher enters their small Missouri town into America's Most Charming Small Town contest, creating pressure to clean up the area before visiting judges arrive—particularly Benny's deteriorating house.
