Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This laugh-out-loud middle-grade novel follows thirteen-year-old Will- who hates hockey and loves dancing-as he navigates school, bullies, and his father's expectations.
Will is a Canadian eighth grader who hates hockey-and he stinks at it, too. Will is bullied at school, doesn't have any friends, and is generally miserable.
When Will's seventeen-year-old hockey-star cousin, Alex, arrives to stay with Will's family, Will and Alex quickly realize they can't stand each other. Then Will stumbles into a local dance school. He fights the urge to cha-cha, but he's good! When Will's dad finds out about the dancing, he basically forbids it. And Alex's dad refuses to listen to what Alex wants to do with his life.
Will takes readers on a journey through noogies, awkward conversations, and epic farts. He worries, dances, and makes messes. Filled with humor, nuance, and emotion, this novel asks what makes a family and what makes a man.

"Thirteen-year-old Will is generally miserable but finds solace at dance school, and then Will's seventeen-year-old hockey-star cousin, Alex, moves in, and Will and Alex learn a lot about each other and their relationships with their fathers"--Provided by publisher.
Thirteen-year-old Will is generally miserable at the middle school where his father is principal, but after his father refuses to let him attend dance school, Will finds common ground with his seventeen-year-old hockey-star cousin, Alex, because Alex's father also will not listen to what his son wants.
