Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Spencer Strata has eleven days left.

Eleven days until his eighteenth birthday.Eleven days until his mom kicks him out.>Spence has always lived quietly-anxious, autistic, and careful not to take up space in a house where silence keeps him safe. But when his countdown begins, everything in his life begins to shift. A chaotic night with classmates pulls him into the orbit of Zion-the star quarterback he's had a crush on for years.

Spence feels seen and heard for the first time, but as new friendships deepen, storms begin to gather. His big brother's chaos pushes his family to the edge, his jailed father reaches out with harmful demands, and intense nights with his new friends blur the line between fun and harm.

Meanwhile, the threat of becoming unhoused looms closer. As his childhood ends and his queer identity becomes known, Spence must decide whether to continue surviving in silence or listen to his inner courage-even if it makes his final days at home more dangerous.

Vero Spalding weaves a sensory-rich, aching, and hopeful story about found family, neurodivergence, queer identity, and the courage it takes to discover who you are.
