Squint

by Chad Morris and Shelly Brown

[sstaley]

This story was written for the Middle Grade crowd, ages 8-13, but it's truly for people of all ages. I felt it spoke to me in so many ways. Even though I'm no longer in Middle School, I still looked back to myself at that age and my experiences. Chad Morris and Shelly Brown capture this age group perfectly in how they think and act.
Flint a.k.a. Squint, has an eye disease that is basically running and ruining his life. All he cares about is his comic that he is drawing. Life hasn't been good to him with his parents both leaving and Flint now living with his grandparents.Now that his eyesight is failing him he's losing his friends, his humor and his confidence. One day a new girl comes into his life, McKell. The awkward friendship forms and blossoms into something grand. There is a lot of heartache and tears along the way as they find out what true friendship is. Both McKell and Flint also learn valuable lessons about life from McKell's brother Danny. You will laugh and cry as the two friends find their true potential in each other and themselves.This beautifully written story is one to be shared in families and other groups of young people...and also for all of those over thirteen. There is something to be learned by everyone in this novel.
