Cursed by Karol Ruth Silverstein

5.0

I chose this as a read aloud for my 9th graders, which we just started a few weeks ago via Zoom. It's a huge hit with my students, but after reading chapters 6 & 7 aloud today, I spent the rest of the afternoon reading it because I couldn't put it down! I found Cursed to be an exceptional glimpse into Middle School with all the usual problems that accompany that age, problems compounded by a debilitating medical condition the main character, Ricky has to deal with. I think other students at our school are going to love this book as much as I did!
