Playing the Cards You're Dealt by Varian Johnson

4.0

The narrator was distracting. Maybe I missed some clues, but I was like WHO KEEPS POPPING IN AND SAYING "I"? It was annoying, which took away from the big reveal at the end. I assumed it was just the author talking. The lessons were age appropriate, and I'm sure far too many middle-schoolers can relate. I loved how Ant grew as a person and became stronger, even though he shouldn't have had to face the obstacles that met him. His relationships were good and full of lessons. Overall, a good read.
