I really enjoyed this middle grade book. It features a really strong friendship between boys, celebration of nerdiness, music and more and an adventure that hits a few snags along the way. I though the characters, dialogue and events were really realistic to middle school. However, do be aware there is a lot of bullying related to homophobia, which is challenged, but still present.
