Official synopsis Publisher
A boy of middling talents — lives in a house with a half-mown lawn and rides a bike with half a seat. While other kids skate figure eights, Hank can only make a figure four — wearing a single skate! Even his sister thinks he’s half-baked. But one day, at the Wholenut County Hoe-Down Days and Olde-Tyme Barbecue, Hank’s partial way of doing things makes him a total winner.
Authors Joe Fallon and Ken Scarborough and best-selling illustrator Jack E. Davis combine their unique talents to create a story about a young boy learning to trust his singular self.
