Who in the world is Paulie Fink?
When Caitlyn Breen enrolls at the tiny, rural Mitchell School—Where there are only ten other students in the entire seventh grade—it seems like nobody can stop talking about some kid named Paulie Fink. Depending on whom you ask, Paulie was either a hilarious class clown, a relentless troublemaker, a hapless klutz, or an evil genius. One thing’s for sure, though: The kid was totally legendary.
Now he’s disappeared, and Caitlyn finds herself leading a reality-show-style competition to find the school’s next great Paulie Fink. With each challenge in the contest, Caitlyn struggles to understand a person she never met… but it’s what she discovers about herself that most surprises her.
Featuring multiple voices, interviews, and texts, this funny, memorable novel from the besting selling author of The Thing About Jellyfish explores what makes a hero—and if anyone, or anything, is truly what it seems.
