Will he be able to survive middle school? In public, he’s often greeted by curious stares or even open revulsion. His parents think it’s time for him to attempt a real school environment, but he isn’t sure. He was born with major facial deformities, and has been homeschooled from early childhood. This is the story of August, a ten year old boy who’s attending school for the first time. If you insist on staying here – be prepared for dissent and lot of middle-school reminiscing on my part. For a really well thought-out, positive review I would read Flannery’s. And on top of that – it’s well written and flows really nicely. I know that most everyone is going to love this book: it’s a very sweet, heartwarming story. * I acknowledge that this opinion will not be shared by 90% or more of readers.
