Those Kids from Fawn Creek by Erin Entrada Kelly

4.0

emotional hopeful reflective tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very solid small town representation with multiple perspectives. One thing this book really nailed is the low stakes but feels incredibly high stakes nature of middle school. The story mostly covered everyday life but I was completely sucked in by the HIGH DRAMA of it all. Erin Entrada Kelly won that Newbery for a reason.
