Ben Carver is back to normal. He'
s working steadily in his classes at the Natick School. He just got elected captain of the baseball team. He'

s his mother, whose quiet unhappiness Ben is noticing for the first time. School is harder, the pressure higher, the scholarship almost slipping away. And there'
s Rafe, funny, kind, dating someone else . . . and maybe the real normal that Ben needs.
