I'm still unsure how to review and rate this book, but here's my best shot! It is a book clearly intended for a middle grade audience, but I personally felt that at times the tone and themes seemed much more adult to me. All in all, I did find it to be entertaining to read. Here's the story in brief: Kirsten is beginning 7th grade with trepidation, low self-confidence, and an extra 30 pounds she did not have last year. Her best friend Rory seems more concerned with hanging with the popular girls than with her, and her parents appear to be on the verge of divorce. Walker is a new boy at the school, and he soon discovers that he just doesn't quite fit in with the students there. When he and Kirsten begin a friendship, things begin to look a bit brighter...until Kirsten unearths a secret that could change both their lives. The book alternates between the viewpoints of Kirsten (who is white--I generally wouldn't report this, but racism and prejudice are major threads throughout the book) and Walker (who is black). I thought Choldenko did an excellent job capturing their unique voices. Kirsten is especially funny and clever as a narrator. The middle-school setting is very vivid and realistic. The book does deal with pretty adult themes, like racism, classism, prejudice, and marital discord. In my opinion and experience, some middle grade readers will not understand these themes, which are very subtly woven throughout the story. Advanced readers ages 12/13 and up will likely enjoy this one if they like realistic fiction stories with a school setting.
