I was generally entertained by this YA contemporary novel by Haitian-Canadian author Ben Philippe.
But I think what I liked most was the experience of Norris as a Canadian teenager who is transplanted to life in Austin, Texas when his mom starts a new college-level teaching job.

It's an all-encompassing take on modern high school life and on being a teenager. I enjoyed how each chapter started with field notes. Honestly, I think this book would make a great premise for a high-school television show.

I would definitely recommend this to older YA readers, because of some of the language used. But it's a great contemporary that I think a lot of teenagers will find relatable and easy to get into.

Plus there are so many fun Canadian references that make it enjoyable for Canadian readers especially!
