But I think Tyler’s story alone would have made this a better fit for me.įans of the series will definitely want to pick this one up. I highly recommend this as a Halloween short story because the ending will leave your students. Emmie feels left out at home (shes an 'oops baby') and at school (she describes herself as quiet, awkward, and 'flat as a pancake'). And I agree, she needed more depth than that. Her friendship issue felt forced, like it was there to give her story more depth than just her crush. Personally, Emmie’s story felt more like an interruption than an enhancement of that story. This is some great, meaty stuff, and I really enjoyed it. AND he’s also wrestling with his identity and his own feelings about art and basketball aside from the pressure he is getting from others.
