Leigh Botts is a special boy, but he doesn’t know it. He refers to himself as medium. He has a lot going on, but he is very self aware and has a lot to share in this cute epistolary novel.

One of my absolute favorite books. I cry every time at least once when I read this book. It really brings me back to being a little kid dealing with divorced parents. I don’t know if it would have the same appeal with kids now, but it was published three years before I was born so it reads very much like the time period I’m familiar with and the nostalgia factor is huge.
