A Tiger Called Tomás by Charlotte Zolotow, Marta Álvarez Miguéns

2.0

I like this book but I don't like this book. Thomas is the new kid in town. He spends his days sitting on the stoop watching others because he is too afraid no one will like him. On Halloween he can put on a mask and go out on the town, but it turns out everyone knows who is is. The idea of the story is that you just need to try, and that you can not be afraid of not making friends. If you never try, you never have. But as someone who moved a lot, why didn’t he meet the kids in school? If he is home schooled, why didn’t mom try a playgroup. Too many unanswered questions for this Navy Brat reader.
