pickThis is a reread after seeing the musical. My first read was the original when it was first published. This go round I picked up the graphic novel version which I preferred. The illustrations really added to the story and because the book was written in verse, I think all the wording was kept rather than simplified as is often the case with graphic novels?! ❤️
PS The musical was awesome!

Chicken says, “It wasn't the ending fo rus,“..“we have lots of pages left.“ People we love may die, but we must continue to live our lives because it is not the end for us.
So the great bare-handed mullet grab wasn‘t a trick. It wasn‘t possible after all.
Guess I‘ll have to come back another day and try again, Roy thought. That‘s what a real Florida boy would do.

pickDarius feels like he doesn‘t belong anywhere. Maybe a trip to Iran to meet his mother‘s family for the first time will allow him the space to find himself.
Oof. I related to Darius a lot. Depression from a young age combined with complicated relationships with his parents & younger siblings that feel like they‘re replacing you? I felt that deep in my chest. It‘s a slow book, & not a lot happens, but once we were in Iran, I was hooked. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
