The Swift Boys & Me by Kody Keplinger
2.0
Meh.
For me the two most unique things about this book were the setting and the reason why Mr. Swift left. I thought for characters who knew the latter part was dealt with in a way that was frank.
There is a really good overall story arc here about growing up, and there's a lot of great character development. However, there are definitely some less than believable things that happen in this plotline.
I'd say this is middle of the road. It's not exceptional, but not bad. A good choice for middle grade contemporary readers.
