My Life as an Ice-Cream Sandwich, by Ibi ZoboiAuthor's website Publisher's page Kirkus Review
I read My Life as an Ice-Cream Sandwich by Ibi Zoboi. I wanted to like it. I really did. I had also recently finished the One Crazy Summer series, and found that I really enjoyed historical fiction from that era. I enjoyed the perspective of my childhood but from a new lens. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy MLas an ICS as much, mostly because I am wondering if a student would have the patience to finish the book. The main character is quirky and difficult to connect with. Would a student have the patience it took to get to the end of the book. I also didn't think the end answered many of the questions I had.
I hate posting about a book I disliked because I don't want to discourage anyone form reading.....Can someone help me find the just-right audience for this book?
