The Story focuses on two boys called Dan & Alex and they both couldn't get along, We meet 12 year old Alex struggling with OCD he worries about germs and death things that would land on him which makes his worries grow however he is bullied by Dan because they call him Shark Face due to the fact Alex good friend was Elliot and they made him take fishes from the Museum pool and keep it in his bag when Elliot discovers the fishes later in his bag he didn't know what to do.
so he's been avoiding Alex because of the bullying that went on, however Dan Mum and Alex's are friends so the two boys got put in a situation to hang out together for the summer it took Dan awhile to get use to Alex but as time went on he and Alex began to form a sort of friendship which Dan didn't want Sophie to know Dan was also struggling to the fact he misses his big brother Ben because he ended up in prison for something bad that happened the whole thing made Dan upset to the point he cried while running out of the school.
I loved this book a lot, Stewart knows how to make you feel his characters like real people because he's raw and honest about everything he speaks about and I loved this book the same as The Bubble Boy and I adored how Alex and Dan were written they're times I found the story slow maybe because we here in the UK had a really bad heatwave and I didn't feel like reading as much so I had to put this down a few times but overall I loved it very much, the message of a boy going through bullying and disability was right up my alley, it reminded me a lot of Wonder by R.J Palacio but the cuter and different version of it.
Thank you for listening
