This was a slow start for me, but once I hit the halfway point, it was hard to put down.

I was surprised by how much I liked this. Ked is very relatable and I appreciated the themes the book touched on. I did think the female characters were rather one dimensional.

Solid teen voice, and plenty of details about rebuilding an engine and using a makerspace. Planning to bring this to our 6th graders.

A middle grade book about a boy trying to help his father make ends meet. I'll admit I'm definitely not the audience for this book, but it was still well written and would resonate with a lot of middle schoolers.
