Book Review February 20-26th

This week, the "Freshman Feed and Read" at school is The Last Exit to Normal by Michael Harmon. This book is engaging, quick, fun, and sad. It tells the story of a young man who finds out his dad and gay and has to move to a small Montana town to start a new life with his dad and his dad's partner. It describes small, rural lifestyle and the value of learning hard work. It also emphasizes embracing new cultures and accepting different lifestyles. The main character is easy to relate to. My students seem to relate with his struggles and his conflict. It was a great read and I would give it four out of five stars.
