Brendan Buckley¿¿¿s Universe and Everything in It by Sundee T. Frazier

Brendan Buckley's Universe and Everything in It
By Sundee T. Frazier

Brendan has a notebook full of questions, and he hopes to find all the answers during his summer vacation. Then, he meets the grandfather he never knew about, and new questions need to be answered: Does his grandpa want him around? And, if not, does it have anything to do with the color of Brendan's skin?
