Listen up, folks. We've got a tantalizing tale on our hands. Meet Butterball, a thirteen-year-old kid who's got more challenges than he can handle. First off, he's constantly tormented about his weight, which, by the way, is totally unfair. And if that wasn't enough, his mom uprooted him from the bustling streets of New York City to some lame Long Island suburb just so she could go to nursing school and start over. Talk about a raw deal.
Now, don't be fooled by Butterball's tough exterior. Deep down, he's yearning for the excitement and adventure that only the city can offer. Sure, his dad's in the picture, but he's always too busy to give Butterball the time of day. But let's not dwell on that, because there's something much more intriguing about our protagonist.
You see, Butterball recently found himself in quite the pickle, my friends. He went and beat up this guy named Maurice on the playground, and now all hell is breaking loose. The school thinks they can fix him with some out-of-touch lady therapist. Yeah, like she's got the answers. Butterball, being the stubborn lad he is, refuses to spill the beans about what really went down that day. His lips are sealed, my friends.
But here's the thing about stories, especially the ones that beg to be heard. They have a way of seeping out into the world, whether we like it or not. And this, my dear listeners, is one of those stories. Prepare yourselves for an experience that will rattle your bones and captivate your soul.
