As he struggles with the challenges of fitting in at school, his relationship with his kind-hearted but overwhelmed mother is also explored.

Through Oliver's journey, readers discover the importance of understanding, acceptance, and the power of standing up against adversity. The story ultimately conveys a message of hope and the significance of kindness in overcoming life's obstacles. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
