Book excerpt: After the death of his mother, Carlton, a 15-year-old computer geek, moves in with his uncle. But this is no ordinary uncle—this is Ricky McNeil, the recently retired hockey megastar. He’s the kind of guy who lives for his stardom and meeting his endless fans. When Carlton starts at the prestigious Delis School, he becomes the next victim of the class bullies. Carlton is a loner, the type that likes to handle his problems by himself. But when the bullying gets bloody, like it or not, Ricky gets involved. Ricky becomes fed up. Fed up with the bullies. Fed up with the school’s unwillingness to do anything about it. He’s ready to transfer Carlton to a different school. Carlton refuses to leave. He has fallen for Emily, a free-spirited Goth student, and believes being with her is more important than anything those bullies can dish out. Bold, insightful, and often hilarious, On Your Side takes you on a wild journey of survival, first love, and self-discovery.
