Odd, Weird & Little by Patrick Jennings

2.0

I really liked what this story wanted to tell. It's about bullying and fitting in. It's about being brave and being different. I loved the idea of that story. The author did a great job of capturing that middle grade voice. The things the kids do and say happen at school. It's that line kids cross all the time - being that secretive bully - the one where what you're doing is mean and hurtful but doesn't cross the line of getting suspended or expelled. Some kids think it's a right of passage, and they are allowed to cut other kids down like that. But it's not ok. And it shouldn't be tolerated. So great idea to the story, but I wish the author had stayed on the realistic fiction side of the story.... It made it seem ridiculous.
