This was a very good middle grade about hard topics like grief, sexuality, homophobia, and racism. I thought it dealt  with all these subjects really good. I really liked king as a character, but I do wish we got to see him and his brother interact more somehow. The friendships were interesting how different they reacted and who your true friends are. I do feel like king acted a little young for twelve but maybe I just grew up to fast.
