Fourteen-year-old Charlie expects a boring weekend when his dad punishes him by forcing him to fix their rusty old truck. But under Lloyd's patient guidance, Charlie discovers that the tough part isn't the broken bolts or cracked hoses—it's the thinking, the showing up, and the staying with something long enough to understand it. When he's excluded from a classmate's party, Charlie must choose between bitterness and finding his own way. A warm, humorous story about fathers, friendship, and fixing what matters.
