The Exact Location of Home by Kate Messner

5.0

I actually snuck this ARC book from my 12y old son who said this was his first choice selection for his advisory board. Once I saw it I had to read it too and I couldn't put it down. I was immediately drawn into the main character, Zig and the relationship with his mom as well as the supporting cast. I honestly, think that every middle schooler and teacher should read this book. As an adult, I am always a fan for middle school books that make you think -- and ones that make you see another perspective, so you can then apply it to your own every day situation. I feel that this book makes you do exactly that. While I will admit I was able to predict some of the outcome, I still couldn't put it down because I wanted to see if I was right. I highly recommend this book and I will certainly be looking for other Kate Messner books.
