Book Lottery: Reality Boy (ns)

I read Reality Boy for the book lottery.  I never would have picked this up without the lottery, so I am glad I participated.  I struggled with the subject matter of this book.  Gerald and his family were on a Nanny 911-type show, and it was a horrible experience for him, one that is still haunting him 10 years later.  There is a family dynamic that is heartbreaking.  I don't want to give anything away, but I was so angry reading this book that none of the adults in this poor child's life were what he really needed them to be.

  • I felt like this book had a great premise, but it was just okay in the execution.  ITA about the adults in the poor kid's life completely failing him, though.
