Tae Sung can stand up to the bully who has been harassing his best friend; he simply doesn't realize it yet.
Middle school is coming to an end, and high school is right around the corner for Tae Sung. Tae Sung's new life should be an opportunity to start over, but he'll soon discover, to his dismay, that sometimes our experience follows us even when we try to leave it behind. In this realistic novel, the bully continues to harass his best friend.
The kids at Tae Sung's school are found torturing a wounded snake and using it as a grisly prop for entertainment. When Tae Sung sees what they're doing, he immediately shows compassion for the suffering animal.
Tae Sung learns he has the power to connect the energy of living things through him like an electrical conduit. This is the price he pays for his benevolence. Tae Sung shares the same ability with his grandfather, who teaches him to eventually become quite skilled. His goal is to come to the aid of his friend.
Is this skill a boon or a bane?
Will Tae Sung be able to show that bully who's boss?
At the perfect time, will he be empathetic?
This moving tale for middle schoolers will help kids develop compassion and an appreciation for the value of time spent in nature and with animals, as well as the importance of looking out for those we care about.
