Flight of the Puffin

 









This is the story of four kids who are a bit different, a bit unique and who want to express themselves, be understood, and maybe make a difference.

Libby wants to make people happy with her drawings and her upbeat attitude bu not everyone around her understands.

Vincent is tired of being bullied but doesn't want to hide.  He wants to stand up and stand out like his hero Katherine Johnson.

T left home because their mom didn't understand when they tried to explain who they are.

Jack is focused on saving his school but when his words and motives are twisted he is encourage to think again.

What I like: The ultimate message about acceptance, kindness, paying it forward, and being open to change.

What I didn't like: The multiple person narrative is very popular right now but it can be hard to follow.  The intersection of stories was cool but because I was a bit disoriented with who was who it lost some of its punch.
