Skinnybones is a Bluebonnet winner.
Personal Reaction:
What kid can’t relate to feeling out of place or unliked at some point in their life? This is a great read for children to relate to or for adults to understand how their child or student may be feeling. Life was generally pretty easy for me growing up, but even I went through an awkward stage where I didn’t know where I belonged and felt alone. I’m glad the story ends in a more upbeat tone than the rest of the story, so that the reader is left with a good feeling inside.
