I was sent this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, for a full review see my Amazon and Goodreads pages.

Fun read, will definitely pick up more books by this author, my daughter was a big fan!

First off I commend the author for having such a diverse group as friends. There is Grady who is a average boy with Asthma, his friend Aarush who is on the Autism spectrum, and Pari who is Aarush’s cousin. They with Grady’s ex friend who is now a bully are excepted into Templeton Acadamy the school everyone wants to get into. Throughout the book the children face a lot of the trials and tribulations of school and different personalities, while steering clear when they can of Elwood. Having a son and Granddaughter with special needs I have been through the being different and picked on journey with them. I am very pleased with the way the children are portrayed in this book, and the teamwork they have.

I absolutely loved every moment of this wonderful story. It's filled with valuable life lessons, adventure, peril, and highly relatable and lovable characters. Carole P. Roman has created a world that is unique, inhabited by characters that young people can easily relate to because of their similar concerns about growing pains... This book has a strong message and theme that deserves to be read.
