Ikilled my brother. It's the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It's hot, he has no friendsand the only kid around is his six-year-old brother, Sammy, who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop. Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almostanything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin's chores. And Sammy is all too eager - as long as it means getting a 'Level' and moving one step closer to his brother's Eaglestatus. When Calvin meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. Cal feels guilty but not enough to change.At least not until a diagnosis makes things at home start falling apart and he's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey...
