I read this for my Young Adult Literature class and I really enjoyed it! It's very entertaining with its three storylines that seamlessly flow together as the story progresses and an ending that I didn't see coming while also talking about important topics such as racism, feeling "othered" by those around you, immigration, stereotypes, bullying, and self-acceptance. I would absolutely re-read this and would love to put it in my future classroom one day!
