Genre: Realistic Fiction
Twelve-year-old Felix's appearance on a television game show reveals that he and his mother have been homeless for a while, but also restores some of his faith in other people.
A 2021 ORCA (Oregon Readers' Choice Award) nominee, this book draws attention to the homeless situation. I liked this book but I wasn't a fan of the game show aspect of the story. I think that the story would have been more relatable without that element, I think that it masked the fact that he told his friends, his friends told an adult and Felix and his mother got the help they needed.
