Moving can be tough!
Just ask newcomer, ten-year-old Toby Perkins. Recently uprooted from his home in Colorado, Toby finds himself trapped in his new neighborhood with no other kids, and a soap opera addicted mother. As Toby's summer of doom sets in, an unexpected friend makes her first appearance--the girl next door, Hailey
Bossy and demanding, Toby gives in to Hailey's adventurous ways, who is unaware all Toby can think about is meeting other boys. As the fifth-grade begins, Toby is estatic to hang with his new crowd, only to realize their company isn't quite the same.

This is a sweet little middle grade story about a boy who has moved to a new town and it feeling housebound and friendless. One persistent girl from his year at school befriends him during the summer break, and – even though he’s embarrassed – he secretly finds himself enjoying her company.
I think this was a pretty realistic depiction of children in the final years of primary/elementary school, and – hopefully – it’s a read that will appeal to readers of any gender.

Boy talk about a blast from the past. My best friend in high school was a guy (i am a girl). It is hard enough to move for a young child and make new friends while leaving old ones. I can imagine what it was like to move from Colorado to Washington D.C. I did the opposite and moved from a big town to small one. You go through all sorts of emotions in this book. It has it all. This is a great coming of age book. After all middle school is hard enough. Toby and Hailey's story is a heartwarming, compassionate story of friendship. I recommend this book to 10+ boy or girl. I look forward to more Toby Tales.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Toby is 10 and has to move. He has a hard time adjusting and then he meets Hailey. He wants guy friends, not a girl, but she won't take no for an answer and soon they become good pals.
I loved all the feels, not a love story but a good friend, moving sucks, kind of feels.
I enjoyed my time spent reading this book and recommend it.
Thanks for the complimentary arc in exchange for an honest review, NetGalley
