By Terry Davis

Delacorte Press, 1992

As a child, Bert Bowden had it all. He had been smart, athletic, and popular. Then an elementary-school teacher who thought he was too cocky humiliated him in class so much that he became self-conscious, awkward, and "invisible."

Now, as a junior in high school, Bert wants to regain part of what he has lost. He wants to find himself, to become somebody.

Through the mentorship of two caring adults, Bert discovers motorcycles, writing, and racquetball, learning hard truths about himself and the people in his life along the way.

Set in the same high school as VISION QUEST, but twenty years later, this book sings with the energy and vitality of a teenager on a voyage of self-discovery.
