Thank you to Netgalley and Henry Holt & Co for letting me read and review this ARC!
I'm a big fan of the Class Mom series and when I saw that there was another installment I was excited and this one did not disappoint..
Smells Like Tween Spirit takes us along with the Dixons as Jen and Ron navigate Max being in middle school and joining the wrestling team among all the other struggles life throws at them as well.
I love this series for many reasons, but mainly, I love that we get to see so many levels of real life with the Dixon family. We don't just see the good, but we go through all the rough times with them too. The characters are lovable and the writing is so engaging that I felt emotional for every hard and happy moment they experienced. I also continue to laugh out loud throughout each of these books, Jen Dixon is such a witty character and she has some hilarious thoughts and encounters.
It has also been great to follow the growth of the Dixon family throughout this series. Specifically, this book gives us so much personal growth within each character and it made me fall in love with them even more.
I really hope we get another installment in this series - because I'd love to see Max in high school and how Jen handles that one because I'm sure it will be hilarious!
Absolutely hysterical! What's even better is that this is humor with actual content. The characterization is great and at the heart of these books is a genuine family with its ups and downs.
