Here’s another book from the Cybils Shortlist that I didn’t think I would like. Stupid Fast – there’s a guy in a football uniform on the cover. Total turn off for me – but, it was good. Really heartbreaking but good.
I really liked the descriptions of Fenton’s growth spurt – I’m guessing there are a lot of teenage guys who can relate to this. And a lot of parents who might gain insight into how a kid feels when everything changes that way.
Moral of the story, for adults – DO NOT LIE TO YOUR CHILDREN.
