This book took me back to my middle school years and it was so easy to remember moments during those years. While the book is intended for that age I also think that adults would enjoy this book and that they could learn from this book. I love how lighthearted this book is and I think it is a great read for children ages 9-13. Thoughts and Themes: I finished this book all in one day as I could not pull myself away from it. Even if it means breaking some old friendships and making some new ones.Īs they did in their groundbreaking novel George, in Rick, award-winning author Alex Gino explores what it means to search for your own place in the world … and all the steps you and the people around you need to take in order to get where you need to be. Rick wants his own life to be that … understood. One of them leads to the school’s Rainbow Spectrum club, where kids of many genders and identities congregate, including Melissa, the girl who sits in front of Rick in class and seems to have her life together. And he hasn’t given his own identity much thought, because everyone else around him seemed to have figured it out.īut now Rick’s gotten to middle school, and new doors are opening. He’s let his father joke with him about which hot girls he might want to date even though that kind of talk always makes him uncomfortable.
He’s gone along with his best friend Jeff even when Jeff’s acted like a bully and a jerk.
