Summary
The way twelve-year-old Ked Eakins of Norton, Maine, sees it, his life has been stolen from him, piece by piece; first by kyphosis, a spinal abnormality which has made him a social outcast at school and a target for the school bully; by his friends, who have recently abandoned him; by his mother, who left for the West Coast, taking the insurance which might have saved him with her; and by his father, who is a gambling addict who has lost the rent money--but Ked is a builder, and using the school's Maker Space, he intends to build his life back, and maybe make a few real friends and save his father while he is at it
