I liked this book even more than I liked George! The queer rep was all over the place, and the middle school drama (both internal and external) that the characters dealt with was so realistic. This book has inspired me to start our own version of a Rainbow Spectrum Club at my school, too. As with George, I highly recommend that literally anyone and everyone read this book. While it is a middle grade book and is definitely something I would recommend to middle schoolers, all individuals can learn something from it. As a bonus, if you listen to the audio book, it's read by the author, which is pretty neat.
