Fuori dal guscio

The book captures the complexities of friendships at that age. Did anyone else feel the characters' relationships felt very authentic and relatable?

Jerry Spinelli’s depiction of middle school life felt so vivid. I wonder how much of it was drawn from his own experiences or observations.

The book balances lighthearted moments with emotional depth. It made me think about how humor can be used to handle tough topics in children’s books.
