In this sequel to Stupid Fast, Felton Reinstein (whose amazing running ability stunned everyone in the first book of this trilogy) is off on a different discovery. This story focuses on his younger brother, Andrew, who is very sad and depressed and who runs away to Florida. This book is actually Felton's journal as he attempts to travel to Florida, retrieve his brother, and return home in time for football practice season to start. The targeted audience here is high school boys, who like sports, have a slightly weird sense of humor, and who probably have read the first book. Written by Geoff Herback, this won the Minnesota Book Award in 2013.
Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.
