The Next Great Paulie Fink by Ali Benjamin
5.0
I found this book to be just utterly delightful. I listened to it on audiobook and I didn't want to put it down (Does that phrase work when it is an audiobook? Would take off my headphones work better?)
First, I love a flawed protagonist and I feel like it isn't too often that you get those in middle grade fiction. I was also afraid that Paulie Fink was just going to be a manic-pixie-dream-girl boy but he was revealed to be way more than that as well.
Overall, this is just a fun book. I hope that it is one that kids will enjoy as well.
Note on the audiobook: It's a pretty good audiobook and does have a full-cast. My only nitpick is that the men they got to do the voice-acting for the male students sound like men and not 12 to 13 year-old boys.
