When luck gives a new kid a false reputation as a tough guy, can he find the strength to live up to his image?
Rodney Rathbone is a self-admitted coward. Things scare him, and he can’t help it. So naturally he’s terrified when he moves to a new town and the bully is ready to pounce. But just as Rodney is about to flee, a baseball flies in from out of nowhere and knocks out the bully. Now everyone thinks Rodney’s invincible—when really he feels just the opposite. Can he figure out how to live up to his new reputation and make friends along the way?
    Told with warmth and heart, this debut novel from a middle-school teacher will speak to the hidden insecurities—and strengths—of every middle-grade reader.

Read this! It was cool but amazing
This book was really funny. There was action, suspense and it really pulled me into it. Rodney Rathbone, is a kid from the big apple so when he comes to town he is scared. Previous bullying in the big apple has him on guard 100% of the time. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure.
This book was really funny. Rodney makes some really good and bad decisions and some of them almost get him suspended. A This book is really good and I would recommend this book to people that like adventure and being pulled in to a book.
love this book! thought it to be a "how to" book, but it totally isn't you should try reading it and testing it yourself
