Summary

Loner Geordie James joins four other struggling fifth graders in a science fair group project that answers the question “what is our place in this world?” When Geordie becomes obsessed with the fate of a pig who escaped from a factory farm, the group project gets put in jeopardy. As Geordie starts to push harder into difficult questions, he finds everything changing—his friendships, his ability to express himself, even how he plays his favorite online role-playing game, DOMINION.
