On thin ice
The way twelve-year-old Ked Eakins of Norton, Maine, sees it, his life has been stolen from him, piece by piece--first by kyphosis, a spinal abnormality which has made him a social outcast at school and a target for the school bully; by his friends who have recently abandoned him; by his mother, who left for the West Coast taking the insurance which might have saved him with her; and by his father, who's a gambling addict who has lost the rent money. But Ked is a builder, and using the school's Maker Space he intends to build his life back, and maybe make a few real friends, and save his father while he's at it.
