I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book! It covers so many wonderful topics that kids have to deal with: the difficulty of having to move to a new place, fitting it with others, peer pressure, bullying, being from a different culture. Standing up for what you believe in and believing in yourself! I loved that it emphasized that it is alright to be uniquely you, not who everyone else expects you to be. It combines serious subjects while proving to be funny, endearing, and entertaining all at the same time. And of course, let’s not forget all the wonderful and fun experiments with SLIME!! Including numerous fun recipes! I was super impressed with how easily the author touches on the hardships that others have that you might not be aware of and how to be helpful and supportive. A great book about doing the right thing, friendship, learning about other cultures, and the importance of extended family and friends!
I simply cannot recommend this book enough! Loved it!!
