It sounds like Krissy really has a tough time, but sometimes I really love reading a book with a lot of character challenges and growth, it can be so satisfying and empowering to experience through the character. And BAM! that last quote 0_0 "The biggest difference between boys and girls is how people treat them." Wow. Love the sound of this book!<br />-Lina @ Every Book a WorldAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946936341451337324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453297741187148882.post-73293152606215886772015-06-28T11:15:53.928-04:002015-06-28T11:15:53.928-04:00Everyone who has reviewed this book loves it.

This is the kind of diversity we need in YA, not just the typical nationality differences, colour and sexual preference. It sounds like an incredibly moving read.

I have a kid who's about to be in 1st grade and kindergarten wasn't as easy as I thought, as far as him making friends. I'm sure he'll be fine but I would hate for him to have to deal with some of the cruelty that I endured, and I'm sure that wasn't even half as bad as what the character in this book deals with!
