Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach
I really enjoyed reading this book. At first it was really hard for me to get into, which made me nervous because my first project was on it, but after I got used to his unique writing style, I really got wrapped up in this heart wrenching story of a boy, searching for his place in the world. My favorite thing about the book was how relatable it is and how perfect a read it would be for young readers. Although Felton's home story is a bit extreme compared to many, the conflict with family, friends, classmates, activities and the self are things that all people experience and can grasp onto. This book was awesome; and how cool that it was written by an MNSU Alum!

It was a little hard to get into and the cover was deceiving. I was expecting a story that was about sports, and nothing else, but I was really wrong. It was a great coming of age tale that is so relatable for teenage readers.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the struggles that faced Felton were extreme and some students may not relate to those, but they could definitely relate to Felton's awkward teenage transitions!
