Jim Odom of Springfield, Missouri has published a new book titled I’m A BRAT, a story about a ten-year-old child in a military family, David Boyer, who has just moved for what seems like the millionth time. After a year with no friends, he now has an opportunity to reinvent himself so he can fit in. The problem is, into what? David’s comical journey for acceptance is met with many challenges and a chance to even the score with his tormenting brother. But will David’s monstrous bike, his brother, or a string of bad luck stand in his way of making friends? Or will his fortune change for the better?
