Squint by Chad Morris, Shelly Brown

5.0

I chose to read this book because of the cover and catchy title and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I read it in just a few hours. This book touches on so many areas related to many middle school children today: sickness, loss, fear, bullying, friendship and perseverance. The most unique part of the book was how Flint aka Squint wrote a comic book throughout the story, which reflected his own personal desires and heartaches and his special friendship with McKell. Although the two came from different backgrounds, they realized that they weren't that different after all. I would recommend this book for 4th grade students and up and will use it in my college course next semester.
