Jayden Hayden, wordsmith, aka rhyming boy, doesn't have a dad, just a mom obsessed with football player Jayden Finch and an embarrassing name that gets him teased. When his school's father-son day is announced, Jayden's quest for answers becomes a puzzle he needs to solve quickly. He wonders: Could Jayden Finch be more than just a football player? With the help of his an-answer-to-every-question friend Saskia, he aims to track down his namesake and his father all at once.
