Review # 2 was written on 2010-01-24 00:00:00 Roy Samson I enjoyed reading this book because it helps to assuage some of the anxieties students with divorced or LGBT parents face when being compared to "normal" heterosexual ones. The author makes clear the path of acceptance, in that the main character should not feel bad about having a divorced family because families are what you make of them. For classroom instruction I would use the text to try and get my class to become more accepting of families that are different from their own. I would recommend this book to teachers because it models acceptance with what life can throw at you, and it can inspire initiative in students with the repeated moral of the story "family is what you make of it," meaning whatever kind of family you have, it can be as good if not better than anyone else's.
