Review: And Then, Boom!

And Then, Boom! And Then, Boom! by Lisa Fipps
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

thought provoking

This book opened my eyes to how kids go hungry in our country everyday and often times we don’t even realize the signs. I liked how Fipps puts her protagonist on a realistic roller coaster of emotions. I appreciate that she doesn’t sugar coat the story nor take the easy way out when resolving his situation. She captures the strength and resilience of kids but also the emotional struggles and coping mechanisms they shouldn’t need at such a young age I look forward to reading whatever she writes next
