redefines courage as the ability to act truthfully in a world of lies. Jeffrey Lu’s persistence on the cricket pitch despite racial slurs and Charlie’s eventual confrontation with his mother’s infidelity represent a more grounded, difficult bravery than the superhero heroics they initially admire. Silvey concludes that while the truth is often "a heavy thing," carrying it is the only way to achieve genuine maturity. The novel leaves the reader with the somber realization that while we cannot change the circumstances we are born into, we can choose whether to be complicit in the silence of our communities or to speak out against their injustices.
