Smiles to Go

Smiles to Go
By Jerry Spinelli

9th grader Will Tuppence has a pretty nice life, if you don't count his annoying sister: he has two great friends, BT and Mi-Su, who play Monopoly and eat pizza with him every Saturday night, his own telescope (he wants to be an astronomer), and an awesome skateboard.
But a few unexpected events turn his world upside down--the death of the proton he heard about on the news, some surprising first kisses, and his 5-year-old sister's terrible skateboarding accident. Great story about 9th grade, friendship, family, and changes.
