Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
Okay for Now
Gary Schmidt is one of my favorite authors. The Wednesday Wars is one of his books that I often recommend to middle-grade readers. Now Schmidt has written a companion story, telling about one of the minor characters from the earlier book.
Okay for Now is the story of 14-year-old Doug, who looks and often acts like a thug. Of course, behind every thug is a real person, often with a compelling story. This is that story.
Even if you don’t usually read books from the Teen area of the library, this might be a good exception to make.
