A review by chrysfey
Double Negative by C. Lee McKenzie

5.0

Hutch is always in the wrong place at the wrong time and making the wrong decisions time and time again. He is stuck with an abusive, neglectful mother while his dad is hauling a big rig from here to there. He struggles with school work, steals food because he's hungry, gets arrested, and receives second chances. Through this story we see him grow and decide to swim rather than sink. He learns from those around him and develops a sense of normalcy.

My favorite characters were Nyla and Maggie. All of the characters, especially Hutch, reminded me of students I knew in middle and high school. I've always wondered what happened to them. Now I have hope that things turned out okay.

*I won a copy of this book. This review is 100% honest.
