Deborah Zeman's Reviews > And Then, Boom!

"Even superheroes need help" This was NOT the story I expected but then again I shouldn't expect anything less from Lisa Fipps. I had to hold back the tears as I read this book in one sitting on a plane. The way that Lisa writes Joe's story is one that will take a long time for me to get over. And this is NOT a story that someone should ever forget. She hits on many issues that tweens face, but are very good about hiding. There are things that people may be going through that they don't want the world around them knowing about. But Joe learns that its OK to ask for help: from his friends, his teacher, his neighborhood "uncle". That from asking for that help, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot wait to purchase this book for my school library because I KNOW that there are students in my school going through exactly what Joe goes through. Thank you Edelweiss for the e-arc!
