*SIGNED BOOKPLATE Xavier Moon is not one to steal the show. He’s perfectly content to play video games and sit at his bedroom window watching the neighborhood outside. But for Xavier’s twelfth birthday, he receives a pair of funky socks and a challenge from his great-uncle to swag out and speak up. First on the list: get into the legendary Scepter League, the elite boys’ after-school club that admits only the most suave and confident young men. Xavier’s grandfather, great-uncle, and father were all members, but Xavier has never had the courage to apply. Now that his wild socks are getting him some big attention, maybe it’s time to come out of the shadows and follow in his family’s footsteps. Or maybe Xavier will march down a new path altogether.
