Story

The story

Harry Stone has spent his whole life as a stand-in for Henry, the brother who died before Harry was born. Every choice he makes must match what Henry would have chosen, from the color of his backpack to the birthday he is allowed to celebrate, and any sign of being his own person is met with punishment.

When Harry becomes the top scorer on the SATs, his parents secretly change his college application so he will attend the community college near their home, the school Henry was accepted to before he died. Reporters arrive to question the family, and his mother accuses him of cheating, locks him in Henry's room, and vows to report him.

For eighteen years Harry has lived as a replacement, wondering whether his parents could ever love the real him.

Opening excerpt

Ever since I was old enough to understand the world, I knew I was only a replacement for my dead brother.

The day before I started elementary school, Mom and Dad took me to buy a backpack.

Mom smiled and asked, “Blue or red? Which one do you want?”

I picked blue. However, the moment I said it, her smile disappeared.
