![]() ![]() ![]() I loved meeting Collin and his friends, Liam and Georgia. (That is one reason why I am reviewing it here at Becky's Book Reviews instead of Young Readers.) It's also what you might call a problem novel. Worst-Case Collin is a coming of age novel-with a school setting, with a strong theme of friendship-written in verse. But keeping secrets and hiding out can only take you so far. There's a good reason he hasn't invited them inside his house-ever, ever, ever. Collin has some great friends-Liam and Georgia-who are clueless about the secrets he's been keeping from them. But he's been living in the After for almost two years now. Premise/plot: Collin, our twelve-year-old protagonist, is a worrier carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Which is harder than it sounds when you're in middle school and calamities of various sorts occur daily. Or, at the very least, to be better prepared. ![]() These days my main goal is to prevent disaster from striking again. First sentence: I used to dream about normal stuff like making the swim team, acing my social studies quiz, getting revenge on Liam for pranking me all the time. ![]()
