[Final Rate: 3.7]
Top reason I got this? The ADORB ARTSYLE I saw online of some pages.
Tho I wasn't expecting the pages being THAT shade of green, it was dark almost depressing to read until I kinda got used to it.

At first I liked the theme of: the struggle with being outcasted for one's race, or for just not being able to blend in. However I started to lose interest slowly since I'm mostly not a slice-of-life genre lover.
Things that happened to the chracters were nice as a reminder I like to take even from the books I don't like much. Tho I enjoyed it to some level!

And again, THE ARTSTYLE gave the feeling of the characters.

Brosgol really nails how awful it can feel not to fit in. That sleepover scene is the stuff of nightmares and is the kind of experience you relive in all its horror for the whole of your life.

The main character is 9 years old, which inclines this book to 7-10yos, yet there are comments and art about pads and periods, a girl sneaking out to make out with a boy in his tent, etc.
