He seeks solace in the resource room with Mrs. T who is always encouraging her students to take risks and try new things. But as it turns out, Heather has some demons of her own, and while she helps him learn to stick up for himself and keep running just so he can say he finished, he also has some things to teach her. [I received a digital advanced reader copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. He is the star football player and just a great athlete in general. I would love to have advice from Heather the way she gave Joseph advice.

The next day he is called to a beach where Sweden's former Minister of Justice has been axed to death and scalped. In P.E.

Her name is Heather and she is new to school. The second thing is that his resource teacher, Mrs. T, encourages him to try out for the new cross country team that the school is starting.One day during sport at school, Joseph spots Heather, each don't fit in with their peers, Heather too fast and Joseph too slow in the group. Yeah, Heather was sometimes hard on Joseph but sometimes we need a friend who isn't afraid to tell us straight up what we could be doing better.
Joesph the main character has a phobea to everything. Everything changes the first day of school! I was particularly taken by Joseph's ruminations on life and bullies as he comes to realize that even if Charlie Kastner was no longer in the picture, another bully just like him or worse will come on the scene, and on and on, and eventually he must face that bully and stand up for himself. When he struggles to make friends or feel people dislike him, she sees herself. And not just in cross-country running, but in life.Wonderful read! He has ADD and it seems to define his whole life.

Joseph loves to go to the resource room to get away from it all. We both can relate deeply to Joseph, making this a great read-aloud choice for us both. He’s friendless and puny, with ADD to boot, so he spends most of his time avoiding class bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him.

She's not the stereotypical feminized athlete either since she's interested in getting fit and strong and not too worried about her appearance. Knowing nothing about Tirana, Albania when she arrives, her observations of these two societies surface a new awakening. During one of my track meets I was also elbowed during a race and it made me feel the same way as Heather. But if I could only pick one I would pick Heather. Explores the idea of intellectual and ability diversity. I wasn't expecting much, as my coworker told me she didn't really enjoy reading it, but I have to say that I loved this book! He is, of course, made fun of and bullied and has no friends. class one day, Charlie begins a run at Joseph while playing soccer. Great read for kids and adults alike. All opinions are my own!Thanks to the #kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Will he ever stick up for himself?
