This was like a mature version of Front Desk. It definitely hit me in all the feels while Felix and Astrid struggled with homelessness throughout the entire book. However I struggled with the age range this book was written for. I believe this book falls more in the YA category rather than starting at a 5th grade audience. There was just too many things that happened to Felix that should be read by an elementary student so I don’t think this book is a middle grade book despite the youthful cover. That being said, the end of the book especially brought tears to my eyes several times. So many kids in this world are dealing with not having enough food or a safe place to sleep at night and it breaks my heart. I loved the last page in particular and the kindness of strangers.
