Free Lunch by Rex OgleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another powerful book that addresses tough issues facing kids: poverty, domestic violence, and physical abuse. While Rex's Free Lunch is a memoir, it is definitely narrative nonfiction that reads like a novel. Don't shy away because of the tough topics. Kids need to read this book because kids live through the events in this book. Ultimately, this a book about hope and perseverance in the face of adversity and trauma.
And if you, like me, enjoy the book and still have questions, check out this great interview:
