Middle school is full of new experiences for Kyle.
On just her first day, Kyle discovers her inner house of power, punches a
bully, is compelled to join the NAVS team, and purposefully gets on the wrong
bus home. She’s just trying to do her best, but Kyle doesn’t know how to stop
the problems that can all be traced back to her craptastic first day.
Middle
school is difficult for everyone as we try to really figure out who we are and
who our friends are. Salom does a great job of illustrating the inner conflict
and the drama that results from that struggle, and I enjoyed being a part of
Kyle’s growth. The only drawback, for me, was the confusing slang that Kyle
would use on every page.
