If I Ever Get Out of Here by Eric Gansworth

4.0

---

I listened to the audiobook and was NOT impressed with the author reading for a middle school narrator - so draaaabbbb! Luckily for the author, the story rocks (and rolls!) and is easy to get into and highly relatable for those of us who navigated border towns growing up. Reminded me a bit of Absolutely True Diary of a PT Indian, so if you’ve (rightfully!) canceled that Alexie dude, give this book a try as a fun middle grade/coming-of-age tale.
