While this book follows the lives of 12-14 year olds, I was remarkably impressed by how universally beautiful and relatable the story was. I had not even read the first of this series and I was still captivated by what happened to little Alan Cole. Great sentimental read that seemed very true to today's social context.

SO UNDERRATED :(
I think about this book more than I should. IT IS SO PERFECT. Odin and Alan were so cute, and I appreciated that Nathan was a better brother in this book. I WANT MORE FROM ALAN COLE!!!! I love how brave he was and how kind he was and everything. I say that Alan is my child because I love him that much.
I cant wait to buy this book, Its my heart and soul. Thank you so much Eric Bell, and please just 1 more book about Alan, please. I have zero regrets. :)

eric bell bashing me over the head: “odin thompson is gay”
me in the corner: “i know”
i actually think i enjoyed this one more than the first book, but i’m just a little bit outside the intended audience to enjoy it as much as i could. alan seems like a sweet kid though and i’m glad he tried to tackle bullying on an even larger scale in this book. he’s a way more courageous 12 year old than i ever was.
