Author: David Glen Robb
About Product: A trio of high school outcasts—Paul, Big, and Small—face the complicated world of predators and prey in high school and come to realize that overcoming life’s challenges will take more than perseverance. Paul Adams is the shortest kid at his high school, and the school bullies relentlessly pick on him. He’s become an expert at avoiding the predatory students and spends the entire day wishing school would end so he can escape to his favorite sport of rock climbing.
In English class, he’s teamed up on a writing project with two kids who make him nervous because they tower over him. Paul’s rabbit-on-the-run mind goes to work, thinking of ways to escape any inevitable beat-downs.
Lily Small is athletic, attractive, and, despite her last name, is actually very tall. Another kid, who looks almost like a grown man, introduces himself with a long Polynesian name, but says everyone calls him “Big,” and he seems to like the nickname! As they get to know each other, Paul, Big, and Small discover they have a lot in common as outsiders in their high school.
Paul, Big, and Small is about the turbulent, emotional lives of young adults who are struggling with life’s challenges openly and sometimes in secret. They learn to overcome them by speaking the hard truths, learning from the unique gifts of others, adapting to inevitable changes, and finding power beyond perseverance.
