A new friend could be sitting right next to you. Save Me a Seat joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!Joe and Ravi might be from very different places, but they're both stuck in the same place: SCHOOL.Joe's lived in the same town all his life, and was doing just fine until his best friends moved away and left him on his own. Ravi's family just moved to America from India, and he's finding it pretty hard to figure out where he fits in.Joe and Ravi don't think they have anything in common -- but soon enough they have a common enemy (the biggest bully in their class) and a common mission: to take control of their lives over the course of a single crazy week.

Just great, I don't know but the ending made me teary... In the beginning, I liked Joe but Ravi (Ra-Vee) seemed kinda selfish, and arrogant that he thought that he is the best and stuff. I didn't understand why he wanted to be Dillion's friend so much. But then I understood more and he just had trouble fitting in you know, he came all the way from India. People at school looked at him differently and Dillion was just the worst! I've never seen a worse Elementary School bully ever... Joe was sweet and people looked at him differently just because of his APD or Auditory Processing Disorder, and the fact that he was a big boy who loved to eat! It was a cool concept of writing the story from both perspectives and I believe their friendship is gonna be great. SpoilerAnd Dillion really deserved that thing in the end... He was simply the worse! Highly recommend!
The only thing I didn't like was the way they talked about girls, how they're dumb, can't play sports, and just always like Dillion and stuff... The authors were female for God's sake!!!
