A review by sheepishreader
Fight + Flight by Jules Machias

4.0

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for honest review.

Trigger Warnings: physical and mental illnesses, school shootings, anxiety attacks, religious abuse, etc.

This is a middle grade that covers some pretty difficult topics. I think it handles it all very well, as well as having amazing representations of various mental illnesses. I felt very represented as as person with anxiety and ADHD.

The characters were really well developed, and I feel they were very vivid on the page. I think a lot of kids will be able to see themselves in this book.

I'd write more, but parts of this book were a bit triggering for me. Overall, amazing middle grade that could teach anyone about the important issues going on today.
