Everyone but Rex seems to be coupling up, and he's starting to feel like an outsider... until he meets Charlotte. She's fearless, smart, pretty, and she likes him back. But as great as Charlotte is, there's someone Rex can't stop thinking about.Drew is Rex's childhood best friend, so when he kisses Rex, all kinds of new feelings begin to stir. Though at school, Drew acts like he doesn't even know Rex, making those feelings turn really confusing really fast. And with all the strong opinions Rex hears at home and at church, he questions his own worth and what his affections actually mean. Rex wants to be more like his new friend, Nina, and not care what others think, but being himself seems impossible. When did middle school get so confusing?!About the author:Rex Ogle is an award-winning author of more than a hundred books for kids, including his memoirs Free Lunch (winner of the YALSA award for Excellence in Nonfiction), Road Home (a Michael L. Printz Honor and Stonewall Honor book), and Four Eyes and Pizza Face, both illustrated by Dave Valeza. Under his pseudonym Rey Terciero, he has also penned graphic novel retellings such as Meg, Jo, Beth, &amp; Amy; Northranger; and forthcoming Dan in Green Gables. Born and raised in Texas, Rex now lives in Los Angeles, where he writes every day. He still wears glasses, picks at his pimples, and can’t stop eating cake.
