STUCK

Narrator Christopher Gebauer establishes a youthful voice for Austin, who once again is the new kid in class after he and his mom move to town. Constantly worried that they may pack up and move again at any moment, Austin struggles, as usual, to settle in. He tries to lie low on his first day of school and keep to himself, but his new teacher, Ms. G., encourages him to participate, and new classmates welcome him. Gebauer captures Austin's insecurities when it comes to fitting in and reading. Listeners will cheer on Austin in this school story as he opens up and becomes an important part of his new community.
