Blurb:

"He's tagged along with his best friend Jeff, even when Jeff's acted like a bully. He's let his dad joke with him about girls, even though it makes him feel uncomfortable. Everyone around him seems to think that they've figured him out. But the truth is, Rick hasn't given his own identity much thought.
Now Rick's in middle school, and it's a place of new possibilities. With the help of his new friends that he meets at the Rainbow Spectrum club, Rick embarks on a journey to find out who he truly is.

An inspiring story about finding your place in the world."


If I recall it right, I might even like this book about Rick's story a bit more than the one about George's/Melissa's story.
In a nutshell, Alex Gino definitely knows how to write children's books and his books should definitely be in every school's library!
I so much would have loved to see Rick with his grandpa at the convention!
Great Book! ... can't wait to read the next.

Rick is accompanying Melissa in the queer book box now... Happy Traveling!
