**A Junior Library Guild Selection**"Skeezie’s story shares the series’ strengths. With its companions, it's a powerful affirmation of friendship, compassion and the right to be accepted for who we are.""[A] thoughtful conclusion to the Misfits series . . . Howe shows uncanny understanding of adolescent concerns and vulnerabilities, painting a realistically complicated portrait of a boy's coming of age.""Howe skillfully blends humor and pathos, effectively conveying the protagonist's conflicted feelings, even through his wisecracks, and his characterization is robust and nuanced.""This is a fitting final installment in the [Misfits] series. Each of the books has a distinct voice, reflecting the individual protagonist’s personality, yet they fit together perfectly, just like the friends themselves."
