I realize I’m not posting much more than what I’ve been reading. But with as hectic as life seems to be my outlet is reading right now. So I hope if nothing else, maybe you’ll find something good to read in my blog until I find more to write about…
Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A companion book to The Wednesday Wars, and I think I enjoyed it just as much… if not more. The story of 8th grade Doug who has a lot going against him but is navigating himself through life in a new town. Making friends despite his brother’s reputation and his dad’s choices. It’s got a little love story, historical references, humor, some sad moments, that leaves you feeling good.
