The Swift Boys & Me by Kody Keplinger

3.0

A good middle grade story about facing the changes that come with growing up and learning how to adapt. Middle school is a difficult time for friendships and Keplinger captures that difficulty and how the regular hardships of life can make or break them. It is a bittersweet story, but mostly well told. There were parts of the narrative that felt a little too contrived and didn't flow as well as other books of the same ilk, but it is one I can see my middle grade students liking very much.
