The Misfits

Written by James Howe

A book for readers in grades 5 and up reviewed by Aaron

    

The Misfits by James Howe tells the story of four kids in middle school. They are not your ordinary group of kids, though: they describe themselves as outspoken misfits. These “misfits” live in a small rural town called Paintbrush Falls. Together, they all fight for justice, freedom, and liberty for all. When the student council election comes up, they must struggle for their voices to be heard.

I would definitely recommend The Misfits to anyone. I think this book would be very beneficial in helping someone see things from an unpopular person’s point of view. Many kids can relate to this point of view, and other kids can learn from it, too.
