The Way I Say It

Sixth-grader Rory still can’t say his r’s. He’s always gone to speech therapy at his elementary school, and now he has  to continue in middle school. But that’s just the beginning of Rory’s troubles.  

Rory’s ex-best-friend, Brent, now hangs out with the mean lacrosse kids who make fun of Rory. And Rory’s mom doesn’t understand why he and Brent aren’t friends anymore.  

Rory and his friends are finding their way in middle school, and he and his new speech teacher discover that they share a love of hard rock and boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Things are looking up. 
​
But then Brent is in a terrible accident and suffers a brain injury. After winter break, Brent returns. He’s not the same, and everything is difficult for him. Should Rory stand up for his  old friend—even though Brent never did that for him?
