ISBN:  9780823449569 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  246 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  A lover of logic, words and grammar, 12-year-old William Wyatt Orser acquired the annoyingly ungrammatical nickname "Worser" so long agothat few people call him anything else. Nor do they know about his Masterwork - an epic lexicon of words he's carefully collected over the years. When his widowed mother suffers a stroke that leaves her unable to speak, Worser's world is completely upended. His aunt moves in along with her cats, art projects, loud music and bright clothes, and home is not the refuge is once was. Feeling lost, lonely, and overwhelmed, Worser searches for a new sanctuary just as the Literary Club run by his favorite classmate, Donya Khoury, needs a place as well. Worse finds a used bookstore that opens its doors to all of them, and he discovers - much to his surprise - that the key to making friends is for him to open up, too. Gradually, he finds himself sharing his thoughts, feelings and sense of humor - and even his treasured Masterwork. But when change threatens his new refuge, Worser's grief and frustration lead him to react in an extreme and destructive way, and he must make peace with the fact that nothing stays the same forever. In the end, it is up to Worser to turn the page on his own story. Audience:  Ages 10 to 12. Holiday House. Grades 4-6. Holiday House. Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
