Brian has always been anxious, whether at home, or in class, or on the basketball court. His dad tries to get him to stand up for himself and his mom helps as much as she can. But after he and his brother are placed in foster care, Brian starts having panic attacks. And he doesnât quite know if there's something wrong with him . . .
Ezraâs always been popular. Heâs friends with most of the kids on his basketball teamâeven Brian, who doesnât talk to many people. But now, some of his friends have been acting differently, and Brian seems to be pulling away. Ezra wants to help, but he worries if heâs too nice to Brian, his friends will realize that he has a crush on him . . .
But when Brian and his brother run away, Ezra has no choice but to take the leap and reach out to Brian. And Brian realizes that he could really use a friend right now. As the two get closer, theyâll have to decide if theyâre willing to risk being vulnerable with each other and share parts of themselves theyâd rather hide from the world. But if they can be brave, they might just find the best in themselvesâand each other. With a lively voice and moving story, Thanks a Lot, Universe is about finding your community and learning to trust your heart.
