When my teenage son, Braden, and I climbed out of our minivan, temperatures hovered in the mids and an ethereal layer of mist covered Freezeout Lake. We weren’t the first to arrive; a handful of pickups, Subarus, and other mud-splattered vehicles huddled in the tiny dirt parking lot next to the railroad tracks, and a dozen or so people talked quietly in pairs.

With binoculars and cameras draped around our necks, Braden and I looked out across the water. Ice still covered parts of the lake, and we spotted a bald eagle that was perched on a frozen shelf about a half-mile away. But it was the writhing white mass near the far shore that grabbed our attention, along with a cacophony that, while not yet frantic, conveyed a heightened sense of anticipation.

For most of his childhood and into adolescence, Sneed’s life was split between living with his mother during the school year and visiting his father during the summer.

Collard’s autobiography is touching, witty, and honest. Even though biology is a unique part of his life, Collard’s main tale is blatantly familiar to readers who have endured or are enduring a divorce.

Collard struggles to find his place because he is a product of that dissolved marriage. Yet Collard credits a minimally rebellious life to sensitive teachers, adults, and friends who helped him handle his unpleasant situation. Aside from dealing with divorce, Collard also details hi

What were you like in middle school? What did you read?Attending La Colina Junior High School in Santa Barbara, CA, I was a kid who probably appeared fairly normal. I did well in class and had a reputation as a smart-ass who could make kids laugh. What people couldn’t see was that, after a happy first few years of life, I’d had my entire world yanked out from under me by my parents’ divorce. As a result, I spent my junior high years negotiating an emotional minefield and often felt disconnected from the world around me. I was also young and small for my grade, which rendered me prone to occasionally getting bullied, though I was by no means unique in
