Description:

A sweet, tender middle-grade story of two boys finding

first love with each other over a seaside summer.

Jeremy is not excited about the prospect of spending the summer

with his dad and his uncle in a seaside cabin in Oregon. It’s the

first summer after his parents’ divorce, and he hasn’t exactly

been seeking alone time with his dad. He doesn’t have a choice,

though, so he goes … and on his first day takes a walk on the beach

and finds himself intrigued by a boy his age running by. Eventually,

he and Runner Boy (Evan) meet — and what starts out as

friendship blooms into something neither boy is expecting … and

also something both boys have been secretly hoping for.
