It’s the end of the 60s, humankind is about to take a giant leap and set foot on the moon for the very first time but in stupid Marysville, New York, Doug Swieteck’s life is stuck in the same old rut and nothing of consequence really happens. Why did I read this book: I saw it on NetGalley and it sounded like an Ana-Book (and it so is!) and then VERY positive reviews started to pop up everywhere. How did I get this book: Review copy from Netgalley Stand alone or series: Stand alone but a companion book to this author’s The Wednesday Wars Along the way, he also readjusts his relationship with his abusive father, his school peers, and his older brother, a newly returned war victim of Vietnam.
With her challenging assistance, Doug discovers new sides of himself. Okay For Now, his latest novel, explores another seemingly improbable alliance, this one between new outsider in town Doug Swieteck and Lil Spicer, the savvy spitfire daughter of his deli owner boss. Schmidt won Newbery Honor awards for Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boys and The Wednesday Wars, two coming-of-age novels about unlikely friends finding a bond. Genre: Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction, Young Adult
