Description:

When his beloved grandfather passes away, fifth-grade Catholic schoolboy Joshua Beal has a crisis of faith. On a mission to ‘find God’ and make sure his grandfather is OK, Josh embarks on a spiritual journey that poses difficult questions along the way. As if that weren't enough, he also has to contend with schoolyard bullies, the sudden appeal of girls, needy schoolmates, and the recklessness of his best friend Dave. Though the eyes of a child, there's a genuine feeling and a surprising complexity of thought about faith that makes Wide Awake familiar and yet ‘enlightening’.
