Die Suche nach Paulie Fink

The story captures so many authentic moments of middle school life. I'm curious what real experiences or observations shaped this portrayal.

The book made me laugh but also tugged at my heartstrings — I wonder if that was intentional to reflect the rollercoaster of middle school.

Using humor to explore identity felt refreshing, but I wonder if there was a particular reason for choosing this tone over a more serious approach.
