renatasnacks 's review for:
Everything, Everything
by Nicola Yoon
Augh I stayed up too late reading this! I love Madeline's POV and her snarky book reviews. I love that it's a "sick kid book" with a biracial protagonist!
I want to booktalk this to junior high kids... I think they'll love the ~tragic illness~ and the use of texting/Tumblr/etc. I'm a little hesitant because of the very tasteful, fade to black sex scene... but I know that like 75% of those kids have already read Fault in Our Stars which has a comparable (if anything TFIOS is sexier) scene. IDK, PW rated it ages 12+, NoveList says grades 6-12 (!), but SLJ says grades 10+... any library friends have opinions? Sometimes I think I'm a little conservative in what I'll share with 7th & 8th graders given that I know a lot of them already ARE reading stuff that's much more explicit than this, but at the same time I don't want to share something that's going to make a kid/parent uncomfortable. But this is really so mild...
