Hasak-Lowy Todd 33 Minutes . . . until Morgan Sturtz kicks my butt, 210 pgs, Simon and Schuster, 2013. $15.99. Language: PG (3 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
Sam and Morgan have been best friends since 1st grade, but now they are in Middle School and Morgan has a new best friend - Chris. Morgan is so mad at Sam he’s planned to fight him at recess. Sam, probably the smartest kid in the school, is very worried, because Morgan is bigger, stronger and seriously angry. This story about a broken friendship recounts a very exciting afternoon at school, plus enough back-story to see Sam’s perspective.
The occasional notebook drawings describing life in Middle School are entertaining. The students are on the young side of middle school, so this boy book may be more popular with the elementary crowd than with the middle school kids.
