My brilliant plan to fix everything

Davis, Ben

Notes
12-year-old Alex is distraught when his parents separate, so he hatches a plan that he's sure will get his parents back together. All he needs to do is get his dad to finish the novel he's always talked about writing ... can't be too hard, right? So, Alex tricks his dad into thinking he has a writing sabbatical and works out a way to take over his dad's postal route, giving his dad time to write his book and become the successful, happy man he needs to be. But Alex quickly learns postal work is a bit trickier than it might seem; there are the school bullies who throw his letters in the canal, an overly suspicious boss and a lot of angry dogs to get through. Not to mention Willow, the girl on the canal who starts to help Alex but has a dark secret that might derail everything ... As the weeks go by, Alex starts to appreciate how much his dad means to the people in the community. But the lies are piling up and as Alex's ruse starts to fall apart, he needs his dad more than ever ... successful author or not.
