- Baker & Taylor
Miniature golf becomes an escape for Malcolm during a time when his home life feels tumultuous and he must navigate tournaments, new friendships, and growing tensions at home. - Baker & Taylor
Struggling with debilitating insecurity that is complicated by his parentsâ constant bickering, Malcolm discovers the geometrical puzzle challenges of miniature golf only to have his promising initial steps overshadowed by his fatherâs competitive nature. 75,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. - HARPERCOLL
The beloved author of Ms. Bixby's Last Day and Posted returns with a humorous and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and miniature golf.
For as long as he can remember, Malcolm has never felt like he was good enough. Not for his parents, who have always seemed at odds with each other, with Malcolm caught in between. And especially not for his dad, whose competitive drive and love for sports Malcolm has never shared.
That is, until Malcolm discovers miniature golf, the one sport he actually enjoys. Maybe it's the way in which every hole is a puzzle to be solved. Or the whimsy of the windmills and waterfalls that decorate the course. Or maybe it's the slushies at the snack bar. But whatever the reason, something about mini golf just clicks for Malcolm. And best of all, it's a sport his dad can't possibly obsess over.
Or so Malcolm thinks.
Soon he is signed up for lessons and entered in tournaments. And yet, even as he becomes a better golfer and finds unexpected friends at the local course, be wonders if he might not always be a disappointment. But as the final match of the year draws closer, the tension between Malcolm's parents reaches a breaking point, and it's up to him to put the puzzle of his family back together again.
