An excellent book that I finished in one day and immediately recommended to others! I have never read a book that so accurately captured the voice of a young protagonist; authors often write kids as precocious mini-adults, but that is not the case here. The protagonist is Rodney, an eleven year old sixth-grader navigating the difficult waters of his family falling apart. He doesn't understand much of what is going on and struggles to put together why his mother and older sister are so angry. At the same time, Rodney wants to be close to his dad, but everyone seems to be mad at dad and forcing Rodney to choose.
Add to this moving to a new town, a new school, no friends, and a decided downturn in lifestyle, and there is a lot for our young friend to process. The transformation of his personality as he is forced to rapidly grow and learn is fascinating. I was deeply drawn into the story and cheered Rodney on as his story progressed.
Overall, a wonderful book that does an amazing job of putting you in the mind of an eleven year old as he works his way through family drama. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This was an interesting take on the "Me too" movement. It followed a family, but instead of focusing on the accused, it focuses on what happens to the family. The struggles of losing all their friends, hiding from media, the fear and anxiety of meeting and trying to form new friendships - hoping that no one recognizes them from the media as well, coming to terms with what the parent(s) did. Well written from a family's perspective. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This easy reading YA book tackles a very relevant topic not often address for that age of reader and even less so from the perspective of a young male. In the wake of MeToo, this topic is an important one to be aware of at this age to prevent the cycle from continuing. The topic matter is introduced through the eyes of a boy whose father has been implicated in indefensible behavior and the fallout endured by his family is the course of the plot.The book does address the topic in a way that makes it easy to introduce but does not proceed beyond there. It would be a great way to start a conversation to answer the vagueness of the situations being hinted at. The book reads easily and smoothly though it is certainly not complex. It doesn't need to be in this instance as that doesn't seem to be the point. The characters are a little flat though they serve their roles ably enough. Bullying, race, immigration, family, money, politics are all flirted with and perhaps the themes are too numerous, too ambitious and distracting from the core plot. There are not too many likeable characters and those that might be are not developed enough to determine that. An ambitious work that is easy to read and starts important dialogues. It should be credited with that though as a stand-alone, it is falls a bit short Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I couldn't finish this book. I made it to page 50 and had to stop. I was ready to stop at page 20 but had to reach my magic number. This children's book is about a boy who's father is in trouble for doing something with a celebrity woman that landed him in rehab. The family has moved and the main character is trying to adjust to his new life. I couldn't finish it because 1. I hated the characters. 2. The main character was spoiled and just plain stupid. 3. It was not realistic when a bully just stops bullying the boy because an older kid tells him to. Not the book for me.sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Allegations against his father turn eleven-year-old Rodney's life upside down in a powerful and surprisingly funny novel about new beginnings, new friendships and a fresh new look at the way things really are, by critically acclaimed author Susan Juby. Eleven-year-old Rodney is starting sixth grade in a new school, in a new home in a new state. The new school is really old and smells like someone ate a couple of pounds of glue and then barfed it back up, and he's in a class with a bunch of kids who seem to sort of hate him. Even his best friend won't write him back. It's strange, because just a couple of months ago, Rodney was one of the most popular guys in his fifth-grade class. He lived in Las Vegas, with his mom, older sister and his dad, who was a successful professional poker player. Now his old life is over -- his mom even says they shouldn't tell anyone their real last name. Because of something his dad did. Or something people said that he did. His dad says it's all a big misunderstanding, but he's now staying in a center "for people who are having problems, like being addicted to drugs or gambling, or because other people don't understand that you are just funny and friendly and sometimes you give people hugs or put your arm around them and they accuse you of taking liberties and ruin everything." Rodney is confident that it won't be long until the misunderstanding is all cleared up and they can all go back to their old life. But he can only keep the truth at bay for so long . . ."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The format of the book is interesting, it consists of letters that Rodney writes to his friend Larry, but never sends. Larry was a friend from 'before Rodney's
Dad's fall from public favour' and never responds to any of Rodney's texts, emails, or letters.
The book shows that Rodney can prevail, despite all the negative's happening in his life. This is an important life lesson that can benefit any child. 'Me Three' is worth the read. ( )
