Gary Paulsen is huge in our libraries and I was excited to read Crush. He always has such great story lines that my students always enjoy. Bright and eye catching cover. Crush is a novel the will also love. Kevin is a great character to follow in this fun and funny story. My students are close to his age and can easily place themselves in his shoes with the same sort of coming of age problems. Always a great story when following Kevin around. Great read and excited to bring it into my library for my students.
