Description: Twelve-year-old Dexter Foreman acts like he's eighty. Raised at The Pines Retirement Village since age six, he relates better to seniors than peers. When truancy officers force him into middle school, Dexter becomes an outcast—dressing like a grandpa, enjoying outdated music and films. Only reporter Gianna finds him interesting. As old and new worlds collide, Dexter discovers belonging requires accepting both where you've been and where you're going.
