The Exact Location of Home by Kate Messner

3.0

Read through to make sure it was a good fit for our library. Reader, I purchased it. Messner tackles the tough topics for kids so deftly. I love the way she sets the tone with Zig and presents an relatable story of how a hardworking mother could slide into homelessness after a string of tough months. I like the way she touches upon other paths to the shelter and equally tough topics - middle school crushes, local environmental concerns, keeping hard news from your friends, and domestic violence to name a few.
