I have been reading this month, although not commenting/reviewing much.

I even got a Bingo!

I have no idea why I put this on hold because I‘m not much of a middle grade reader but this came in for me at the library and it sucked me in!

What a beautiful way to tell a story, the stream of consciousness approach worked so well. The lighter moments & poop stories helped break up the heavier aspects, which were told so well.

Ruthiella What a nice surprise! 2mo

I can‘t say I really liked any of these poems. Saadi was okay.

a stream-of-conscious narrative of a middle school immigrant from Iran living in Oklahoma. heartbreaking and raw, but also funny and gross and wholesome and mournful. this story will stay with me for a long time.

Loved this. Such a heartfelt and personal depiction of what it's like to be new, different, displaced. It felt real, though I don't know that works. It was humanizing and unconventional

The first book was better. Not sure why a second was needed. You don‘t need to have read the first to read the second. In this one, Darius is figuring out juggling work, school, family, soccer, friends, and a boyfriend while also trying to figure out what he wants now and that sometimes when we finally get everything we‘ve been wanting it wasn‘t what we thought it would be after all.
