toryhallelujah 's review for:
Pay Attention, Carter Jones
by Gary D. Schmidt
Hnnnghhhhh. If you can look past the anachronistic premise (a grandpa dies and leaves the family...his butler?), IT'S SO GOOD. Dang. Gary D. Schmidt is the master of gut punches straight in the feels. And HOW did a middle-years book get me to care about cricket?! I mean, I still don't understand it really, but I CARE now. ("You made me care more!")
"Make good decisions and remember who you are" might very well become my tiding to my eventual kids. Powerful.
(Minor complaint: tf is "half-percent" milk? Is that a weird New York-ism? It took me a hot minute at the start of the book to figure out the setting, what with all the references to Australia + that weird name for milk.)
