Who the Man

Earl doesn''t want to be a bully. It''s not his fault that his body is as big as a football player''s!Thirteen-year-old middle-schooler Earl has the body and facial scruff of a man—and this gets him into trouble. Everyone thinks Earl''s a tough guy, but he''s just trying to get by. Thinking he knows what''s right from wrong—and using his fists to prove his point—earns him a week''s suspension from school. Earl thinks he''ll have a relaxing week, but things soon slip out of his control when his home life starts to fall apart. He may be as big as a grown-up, but Earl will learn that being a man means more than how you look on the outside.
