Dexter the Tough by Margaret Peterson Haddix

5.0

I read this with my 8 year old and had discussions with her throughout the book. A really great book that I feel would be appropriate for middle school aged children or kids going through a tough time (a parent or close family member whose sick). It shows a boy whose having a hard time controlling his emotions while his Dads going through a Bone Marrow transplant, because he feels alone with no friends, a new school, and no one but his Grandma, until he meets Robin.. definitely worth the read.
