It’s hard to rate this book… I’m glad I read it. It’s certainly not going to be a joy to read. I think it’s important to think about. what stands out to me is how unkind people can be to each other, especially in middle school and high school. I just think as adults we need to help people/children choose kindness. It’s why I teach books like wonder, out of her mind, Joni and more to help create compassion for people, in particular compassion for people who seem different from ourselves.
