Matt is blind. Levy is obsessed with virtual reality. Together, they're about to discover that real life is way messier-and way more meaningful-than any game.

Best friends Matt and Levy are used to thinking big. So when Levy starts dreaming up ways to make virtual reality accessible for Matt, Matt's quick thinking sparks a wild idea: ditch school and turn imagination into adventure. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out, a lot. Toppled display cases, a creepy auto shop with a possible monster, and a full-on police search later, the boys find themselves dodging security guards, speeding cars, and their own growing panic. Their friendship-and their sense of what it means to be independent-is put to the ultimate test.

Matt & Levy's (Not-So-Perfect) Plan is a fast-paced, funny, and heartfelt middle-grade novel about friendship, disability, and the art of messing up. Through unexpected detours and hard-earned lessons, Matt and Levy learn that asking for help or offering understanding doesn't make you weak-and that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is make things right.

Perfect for fans of Out of My Mind, The Unteachables, and Better with Butter.
