Cartboy and the Time Capsule

Sixth-grader Hal despises history, but his teacher assigns him a year-long journal that his history-buff father finds thrilling. As Hal reluctantly writes about his everyday life, the journal becomes a personal time capsule of school antics, friendships, and the small victories that shape his middle-school years. The narrative mixes humor with the genuine challenges of a teen trying to meet expectations while discovering his own voice.
