Even though I clearly wasn't the prime audience for this book, I can see how kids wanting a mystery with twists and oddball friendships would enjoy this one! I thought the characters were tenderly portrayed.

Definitely a good middle grades novel that deals with some intense themes. I appreciate how the author talked about things like abuse, grief, anger, fear, racism, and ability, but in a way that flowed naturally and easily. I think young people will love the story, but I also think that they will learn so much more from Bones Malone and Kyle Specks.
