These Painted Hands of Ours

Thriteen-year-old, Aubrey Tanner just wanted to skip the tedious tradition at Little Tykes Elementary School and receive the stupid paper to move onto middle school (like it's a permission slip saying your worthy to get older). But no. She and the fifth graders had to tag along to the abandoned all-boys school and leave a painted handprint on an empty desk. Least it's not all bad with her new sixth-grade neighbor/friend Simon but with the closeness, he's been putting on her, she's worried the summer heats getting to everyone lately.
