Read as an offering for my Sophomores. This book was funny, cute, and well done! Norris is a black, French Canadian who moves to Austin, TX with his mom. He experiences culture shock as he navigates life in a large, suburban American high school. My only complaint is the open-ended epilogue…would definitely read a sequel!
