Slugfest

I just love the other Gordon Korman books I've read, so I couldn't wait to dive into this one when I was granted access to the advance reader's copy (thanks NetGalley!). However, when I started reading and realized the main character “Yash” was a football star athlete, I sighed, as I'm not big on sports stories.
But let me tell you, as I kept reading, and meeting the amazing cast of characters that fill Yash's world, I couldn't help but be absorbed in the story! I loved the multiple points of view, each character was interesting and worth spending time with.
The last few events of the book had me flipping pages as fast as I could, I just HAD to know how the end game was going to turn out, and what exactly was the deal with the kids' PE teacher, Mrs. Finnerty! Such a great use of small details actually making the plot twist in the story.
This book was so great, I just wanted to hug my Kindle after reading it. I can't wait to hand-sell it to my customers here at the bookshop!
