Paul Adams has always been short, but he’s an excellent rock climber. And his small size means he can hide from the bullies of his high school.
When Paul, Big, and Small are assigned to the same group project, they form an unlikely friendship.
Paul and Lily team up for a rock-climbing competition, but when Lily is diagnosed with leukemia, Paul ends up with Conor on his team. When Paul learns that Conor is dealing with bullies of his own—as well as some deep emotional pain—he realizes that the bullying in his school has got to stop.
