This novel began by challenging the reader to stretch his or her right arm up to the sky and then reach across and touch his or her left ear.
I was instantly captured ... I love books with unique beginnings. :) The reader was challenged to do that because Georgie, the main character, isn't able to do that simple task because he is a dwarf. Throughout the book Georgie "talks" directly to the reader - quickly giving you a glimpse into what his world must be like for him. Georgie must deal with his friendship with Andy, his mom having a new baby, and a challenging classmate, Jeanie the Meanie.
I really enjoyed this book! :)
Happy reading! If you read The Thing About Georgie, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
