INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Rhuday-Perkovich, Olugbemisola

8th Grade Super Zero

(4) 4-6 As perennial loser Reggie McKnight gets involved in the school elections, he must also juggle his other commitments: his home life, the church youth group, the homeless shelter, and the big buddy program. The unwieldy length and some weak characterizations are offset by the novel's strengths: a likable protagonist, a positive message, and a nuanced exploration of spirituality and religion.
