I’m probably one of the few people who didn’t like Pax, but picked this up anyway and loved it. A great story about finding who you are and self-acceptance while taking action to help a small part of your own world
Great for middle grade

Amazing book. Sparked several good conversations with my almost 9 year old.

A very plesant read. I liked seeing the world through a child’s eyes and ideals again. As the reader, you are very much in the mind of an eleven year-old boy and what he thinks of the events happening around him. I liked how the author built the story. The plot was a bit slow and didn’t keep you hanging on to every word, but I enjoyed it all the same. A beautiful read that introverts and artists especially will enjoy.

This was a sweet story. Ware is an eleven year old who feels stunted by the disappointment he perceives himself to be to his parents, other adults, and in many cases his peers as he is off in "his own world." As Ware's summer unfolds he finds himself learning about "the real world" and his own place in it.
