Middle-school is such an important time, when a person is trying to figure out who they are.
Add too, the incredible importance that peers play in a person’s life.
Rick by Alex Gino is especially valuable because, not only does it address the issues of gender and sexuality, but it also illustrates a protagonist having to cope with having a toxic “best friend.”
Not all relationships are healthy, but it isn’t always easy to identify.
This book takes place after Gino’s earlier novel, George, but I feel it can be read on its own.
