Summary:

"Elliot has been struggling since starting middle school, when his ADHD spiraled and his best friend moved away. He's not too sure where he fits in with his own family either, especially since his newly remarried dad and stepmom are expecting a baby. Especially when he already feels like his dad just doesn't get him - or his passion for cooking. In the kitchen, it's actually a good thing to have a brain that goes in six directions at once. When he's paired with the popular and super smart Maribel for a school-wide project, Elliot worries they won't see eye to eye. But Maribel is also looking for a way to show others her true self, and this project could be the chance they've both been waiting for. Sometimes the least likely friends help you see a new side to things... and sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you figure out what's right. Gillian McDunn, the highly acclaimed author of Caterpillar Summer, explores boyhood in a funny, big-hearted story about a kid trying to find the best way to be his best self"--Dust jacket.
