Synopsis: Palmer LaRue is running out of birthdays. For as long as he can remember, hes dreaded the day he turns ten -- the day hell take his place beside all the other ten-year-old boys in town, the day hell be a wringer. But Palmer doesnt want to be a wringer. Its one of the first things he learned about himself and its one of the biggest things he has to hide. In Palmers town being a wringer is an honor, a tradition passed down from father to son. Palmer cant stop himself from being a wringer just like he cant stop himself from growing one year older, just like he cant stand up to a whole town -- right? Newbery Medal winner Jerry Spinellis most powerful novel yet is a gripping tale of how one boy learns how not to be afraid.
