Heartbreaking and real. This is Rex‘s memoir of his 6th grade year. Excited for the new experiences junior high will be, Rex is deflated when he learns his mom has signed him up for the free lunch program.
In addition to living below the poverty line, Rex also suffers physical and verbal abuse at home.
Told through his 6th grade POV, I believe many students I serve will relate to Rex on some level.
