Milo

Milo's voice felt authentic and light even when dealing with heavy topics. I'm curious how the author decided where to draw that line to keep it accessible for middle graders.

The notes added a unique layer to his character and kept the story engaging. Did this device make you feel more connected to Milo's inner world?

It’s a bold choice that seems to help kids process difficult emotions. I wonder if the author has personal experiences that influenced this approach.
