Beebie was finally going to make his family proud... then everything fell apart.

Benjamin "Beebie" Bateman has always felt like the odd one out. Unlike his athletic brothers and sports-mad father, Beebie wears glasses, is small for his age, and usually stays on the sidelines. But all that changes when he's chosen as rover for the school football team--a chance to finally earn his father's pride.

Then he comes home to devastating news: his dad has left the family.

Reeling with confusion and heartache, Beebie struggles to make sense of a life turned upside down. His weekend visit to his father's new home--complete with a new partner, her kids, and the dreaded convertible couch--only deepens his sense of betrayal. But amid the chaos, Beebie begins to find strength in unexpected friendships... and a way to move forward.

The Convertible Couch is a deeply moving middle-grade novel about divorce, loss, and learning to stand strong when everything around you changes. A compelling and compassionate read for ages 10 and up.
