Description
In his follow up to the YALSA award-winning Free Lunch, Rex Ogle sparingly and clearly details his high school years facing both poverty and domestic abuse. Rex's story is told with honestly and straighforwardness but his voice does not isolate the reader. He has a gift for storytelling and while his books are heartbreaking, they are also an example of grit and accomplishment. This is an important window into how a young person can find hope and survive.
