My Seventh Grade Life in Tights Review & Giveaway

The Blurb

Dillon's life is getting a little crazy.  He's still playing football--even though he mostly sits the bench. His real passion is dance, though. When a video audition goes awry, his desire to pursue a dance scholarship is made known to his dance team and his crush.  

My Two Cents

Brooks Benjamin's debut definitely captures the middle school boy voice.  I read a ton of kid lit and seldom do I see that voice done really well. I loved the character development of Dillon specifically.

Benjamin addresses many coming of age questions in this book--I wouldn't suggest it for younger readers regardless of their reading ability. It is the perfect level for middle school readers, however. He broaches a few scary subjects that will elicit conversation with your kids.  If you aren't afraid to chat with your kids about relationships, loyalty, and sexuality, My Seventh Grade Life in Tights is a good book to read together!
