Scott County Library hardcover 250 pages
Published: 2018
Genre: YA realistic fiction
One of the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees for this year. Set in Minnesota. Touches on middle school boy friendships, racism, wrestling, and entomophagy (insect eating). This felt more like an elementary school book to me . . .
I liked the relationship between main character Will and his sister Hollie. That dynamic was most interesting to me. Will's attempts to maintain his friendship with Darryl and defend newcomer Eloy were realistic, but strained.
