But has August grows and continues on with school he learns what it feels like to have true friends.

I absolutely loved this book. Honestly it was so raw and I felt my heartbreaking at times. This is the type of book everyone should read no matter their age. It teaches the universal message that you should always look for the good in others. If I ever have the opportunity to teach this book in a classroom I would love that. It is a novel that will always keep your attention due to the different narrators and creativity with each perspective.

Warning book contains: mean children and parents that like to bully others.
