Talk about snitty mothers and classroom politics. But I was curious how it ended.

I thought this was a great book with so many issues to talk about. I think Janet Wong did an amazing job of capturing the feelings and motivations of so many characters. A great book for middle grade readers. It would make a good read aloud but the parts that are more graphic might be hard to share. Definitely a great one for book clubs.

This was SUCH a typical "problem novel." Lying/rumors/cheating/cliques/poverty is a lot to jam into a 128 pages, especially when a third of those pages are pictures.

Adding in some graphic novel type images doesn't make it new or fresh.
