Hidden Talents by David Lubar
5.0
NOSTALGIC REREAD:
I am extremely biased by my own nostalgia, but Hidden Talents is still one of my favorite middle grade books. It is a short but impactful story of a group of kids improperly labeled by society; despite their personal struggles, Lubar paints them as well-rounded and believable students at an alternative high school. The theme of the story will resonate with middle grade readers, and the comebacks from the protagonist are hilarious at any age.
It has been nearly eleven years since I read this book the first time and it was still a treat.
