The Exact Location of Home by Kate Messner
4.0
Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book - all opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this book. It dealt with homelessness from the perspective of the middle school student - and brought up some things I had never thought about. All of the little things we take for granted when we have a home - such as the need for a pencil to actually do our homework. I could have done without the little side story about his aunt's domestic abuse, but for the most part it was a good read - well written and it kept me engaged.
