His only comfort is his best friend and stepbrother, Drew (6'3"), and their pal Monica (5'10"), the girl he's pined for since fifth grade. With them, he feels whole; everyone else sees him as a half man. But when Will stumbles onto Drew and Monica kissing, he realizes he's on his own. That's when he starts to grow. Astonishingly fast. New possibilities open up: sports come naturally, girls are throwing themselves his way. But as his growth spurt shows no signs of slowing, Will has to figure out what to do with himself-- and all of this new "himself" he never expected to have.
