Scott and Greg are sent to live with their uncle Rocky, who they can't remember, following their parents' deaths in a car accident. Both boys are grieving, but in their own ways. Scott acts more mature than his years, while Greg rebels. Rocky grieves for the brother he had lost contact with and for the relationship he will never be able to re-establish. Greg's rebellion results in the drama which drives the book, although by the end Greg and Rocky have established communication. The different portraits of grief are well drawn.
