He doesn\u0026amp;#x27;t fit with his classmates (he gives them funny nicknames in his head), his stepbrother (nobody at school knows they\u0026amp;#x27;re related), or even his mother (she never quite sees how gifted a musician Dale might be) - but they don\u0026amp;#x27;t fit with him either. And he\u0026amp;#x27;s fine with that. To him, high school and home are stages to endure until his real life can finally begin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Dale is unable to locate his father\u0026amp;#x27;s grave at the cemetery, he starts writing letters addressed to his father, initially to tell him everything he can\u0026amp;#x27;t bring himself to tell his mother and soon as a way to keep track of some unexpected developments. Somewhat against his will, he befriends his classmate Rusty, who gets a rare look at Dale\u0026amp;#x27;s complex life outside school. Their friendship gets awkward when it seems Dale\u0026amp;#x27;s growing attraction to Rusty is doomed to remain one-sided, but it\u0026amp;#x27;s to Rusty that Dale turns when he stumbles upon a family secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn the Key of Dale\u003c\/i\u003e is a beguiling, pitch-perfect book about growing up, fitting in, and finding a way out of grief and loneliness toward the melodic light of adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830035468446,"sku":"ADS-9781551529035","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781551529035.jpg?v=1778558619","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781551529035","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
