4.0

The compelling and twisting story of Avery's summer makes Will Waltons story a lighting read with incredible heart and depth. Walton tackles the complexity of a family daynamic struggling with addiction over several generations. Making the reader question and challenge the ideals that we hold those fighting addiction to. Averys story is beautiful and written in a style that matches the pros he finds himself reading while he navigates death, love, and addiction.

Pairing this story with the poems mentioned in the story would increase the engagement and the meaning that young readers will pull from the pages. Walton gives students a platform to speak about addictions, love, and many other topics through his intricate framework.
