The Knockout Queen (Large Print) by Rufi Thorpe
4.0
I'd say this book has a fair amount of quirkiness, but I really liked it! Michael and Bunny are memorable characters. They each are left to their own devices as teenagers and neighbors, and they develop a friendship. Both of them get into situations they are ill-equipped to handle, providing moral support to each other.
When tragedy strikes, their friendship is forced to change. I enjoyed watching these characters, and I liked how the microscope was zoomed in on them as individuals. For some, I could see this close-up character examination not working. Again, I really appreciated how the author deftly wrote this and had some quirk. I can also see the threads from this one to her most recent book Margo's Got Money Troubles.
