Me Three

A easy and fairly quick read with short chapters and brisk pacing. Rodney is a sympathetic enough narrator to make his willful ignorance understandable (if annoying as embodied by his sister's anger about his head-in-the-sand attitude). The underlying issues around his father's lecherous behavior come to a head when the other kids find out and Rodney's treated like he's guilty of the same thing, but this passes quickly thanks to the new friends our narrator has made. The book offers a good starting point for discussions of sexual assault and who gets believed but overall is about being brave in both trying new things and speaking up for yourself.

Thank you to Tundra Books who kindly sent me a free copy for review.
