The Boys in the Back Row by Mike Jung
4.0
There were a lot of great things happening in this book.
Boys sharing feelings - honestly makes this book a winner for me.
Having read a book the MC reads, I was thrilled, as I hope my son will also read that book.
Trying to flip some common held beliefs about gender and racial stereo types is a tall task for any book, even more so for those written for middle graders, so this one held it's own and helped the boys stay true to themselves. I hope my son will one day have a friend that will plan a quest with him and also make him know he'd be missed if they were going on diverging paths.
