“If you‘re supposed to accept that life is always changing and be fine with that today may be okay but tomorrow might be the worst day of your life-ever-, then how do you do your homework? “

I enjoyed this book a lot! I would use this in a middle school classroom setting even for earlier ages. The language used can be challenging enough and the story, funny and engaging!

Realistic fiction. I think this book is very relatable for kids! Milo portray the life of many children in school from his friendships, to crushes and even with all of this, the life he leaves at home. This book does a good job in covering the topic of death as well as we see Milo‘s mothers death and the effects it had on him in school.

“Lucky for me, there are plenty of things a kid can become without excellent math skills, and that‘s exactly what I say to my dad when the letter shows up telling him I really need extra help or else I‘ll flunk.”

This book is a good read for young children. 3rd-6th grade. This book will show how things in life change and may sometimes never be the same.

This quote is interesting to me because at times I feel it can be helpful, but in this case I feel like it could be making the situation worse for the child.

I love when authors include little snippets of comics or pictures like this because when children are reading sometimes their minds might wander and this is a great way to keep them just as engaged in the story!

Published in 2010, this book touches on the hard topic of death and grief and how this young child deals with it. Trying to survive school, it touches on other aspects like friends and relationships that this young boy has. This book can be used as like a therapy for children with similar situations. Death of a parent is never easy and this book can maybe open up a window of closure for a child reading!
