This book takes place in the point of view of a girl named Evelyn, and follows her thought process when a new boy shows up to school. A boy named Queen.
I loved this, I think it really captures what being "different" is like at a young age (the characters are in 5th grade). Although I wouldn't consider myself "different", and have no experience. I was able to connect with Evelyn in that I just let others be themselves and became confused when they were treated with less respect than I.
I do wish it could have been in Queen's point of view, and I wonder what the author's thought-process was to put it in Evelyn's instead. I also found myself wondering why the "different" characters we find in books always have to have "different" parents as well, why/how do their parents have so much influence on them? Why can't they have "normal" parents and still grow up to have "different" personalities? - this is something I've found myself wondering a lot in fiction of any age group.
