Maybe I missed something? This book seemed to be trying to get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. I didn’t really buy it. Plus the adult characters seemed highly useless. The messages were sweet and the diversity was of course wonderful, but I wonder if it would have been more successful if we had just focused on one main character.

Flight of the Puffin has been sitting on my TBR pile since it was published. My loss to have not read it sooner. The book follows four kids who are having a hard time navigating life at the moment. Libby is wrongly characterized as a bully at school. Vincent lives with daily bullying. Jack tries to help his rural school stay open but ends up being mistakenly labeled as a bigot. And T is living on the streets since their mother refused to accept their declaration of being transgendered. Through the book, all of the kids develop new understandings through some tough situations. This book deals with some difficult topics, but with grace and hope.
