You could say a lot of nasty things about Terye. But there’s one thing you can’t deny: he gets just as much of a hard time from his dad as I do from my mom
- ROMAN BOKLANOV

Jim’s classmates have been interested in girls for a long time, but he still likes to play with pirate ships and stuffed animals in secret. Jim is 12 years old and he feels out of place in this kindergarten that is “not cool at all”. And then there’s his mom who suffers from panic attacks, and the new kid who is an angry bully who threatens his friendship! It’s a typical teenage life with its fears and challenges. But maybe it’s not all so bad. Maybe he just needs to look at the world from a different perspective?
