I truly cannot say enough great things about this middle grade gem. The characters and situations are all so interesting, layered, unbelievable, but also realistic. This story is engaging and humorous while still diving deep on challenging topics such as what makes a family, true friendship, as well as dealing with grief alone and with the help of others. I cannot wait to push this story into the hands of my students as well as many adults in my life. Dan Gemeinhart knocked it out of the park with this one.
