For every book I want to read on my Kindle, I've decided to read one that's been sitting out there for awhile, skipped over and unread. I don't want any of the books I've selected to feel unwanted.

All of the Above was one of those that I'd ignored. I've read other titles by Shelly Pearsall and have always enjoyed them. Yes, I know they are middle grade books aimed at middle schoolers. But that has never stopped me from enjoying a good book.

Mr. Collins struggles to spark some interest in math in his students. He comes up with the idea of constructing a tetrahedron (whatever that is, I had to look it up, so see I learned something already). The students feign disinterest at first. James Harris III is an artistic tough guy who puts himself in charge of color coordinating the triangular pieces. Marcel helps his father at his barbecue restaurant when he would rather be building the tetrahedron. Rhondell is quietly and systematically headed to college. And Sharice is the neglected foster child who sees the project as a safe warm, place to stay when the current foster mother locks her out of the house each night.

Pearsall is a wonderful writer with diverse characters who have depth. Their stories are real. So if you're looking for a change of pace, don't shy away stories that are classified as middle grade or young adult. You may find a hidden gem and learn about something new. All of the Above checked all the boxes for me.

Entertaining; Solid Read For Middle School

Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2017

Verified Purchase

The author employs an engaging and conversational style that will appeal to tween readers. The story's center--the construction of the tetrahedron--provides opportunities for metaphor along with being the major plot point. The book only suffers from a somewhat simplistic view of young people and their various challenges. I found myself frustrated by the quick turn in James's attitude, as well as Sharice's unrealistically upbeat personality in the face of terrible hardship. The plot moves (sometimes too) quickly for true reader satisfaction, but by the same token, never allows the reader to get bored.
