I read a review of this book that said this was an unrealistic representation of middle school, and I’m just 🧐🤔 at that statement.

I taught in middle school for 8 years and this is literally all of the issues that I have seen in the halls, cafeteria, restrooms, locker rooms, and even in my classroom. This book is perfect to me because it encapsulates so many important elements of adolescence while also tackling racial and social justice issues.

It is humorous but not laugh-out-loud funny. It’s poignant and true and beautifully illustrated. I loved how Craft inserted Jordan’s own drawings into the narrative.

Can’t wait to read the sequel...in like 10 minutes 😆❤️
