What's The Matter With Jayden Jackson?

Thank you to NetGalley and West 44 Books for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Description
Hi-Lo. Four kids sit together at an outcast lunch table on the first day of middle school. Amy has a stutter, but wants to be class president. Maci would rather draw manga than talk to people. Eli is a pastor's kid who has been labeled as "goody two-shoes". Jayden often lashes out at people and gets upset in class, but he actually wants friends very badly. The kids have almost nothing in common, except one thing: they're the class weirdos. If they want to rise above their reputations, they're going to need to do it together.

A coming of age or maybe - a coming out of their shell story that revolves around 4 middle schoolers.. I'm not going to break each one down since the description does that pretty well already. I will say that it is well written, I loved the narrative, and the character development was spot on. I could really feel what these kids were going through and how they found a common ground. I truly enjoyed it.

A good story with a great developed character. What I love about the books in this series, it's the fact that most of them touch on serious and sensitive issues, especially for young kids, and how they deal with them while growing up. Can't wait for the next one!
