A review by dogearredpage
Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms by Katherine Rundell

5.0

This story is beautiful because it is at turns both subtle and brutal. Will is a modern hero that all children can embrace. The story does not end perfectly but it ends hopefully and with a depth of emotion that so many middle grade novels lack. I will be recommending this to any child who needs to find someone who truly understands what it is to be an outcast, but who uses that inner-worth to make his or her world better, no matter how hard that might be. I hope you'll read it, "ja?"
