It Wasn't Me
It Wasn't Me | Dana Alison Levy
8 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
THE BREAKFAST CLUB meets middle school with a prank twist in this hilarious and heartwarming story about six very different seventh graders who are forced to band together after a vandalism incident. When Theo's photography project is mysteriously vandalized at school there are five suspected students who all say "it wasn't me." Theo just wants to forget about the humiliating incident but his favorite teacher is determined to get to the bottom of it and has the six of them come into school over vacation to talk. She calls it "Justice Circle." The six students—the Nerd, the Princess, the Jock, the Screw Up, the Weirdo, and the Nobody—think of it as detention. AKA their worst nightmare. That is until they realize they might get along after all, despite their differences. But what is everyone hiding and will school ever be the same?

Quick read for MD BEST. I enjoyed it and the characters were multi-faceted. The whole idea of restorative justice is pretty cool. Definitely some moments where I felt the characters were a bit too mature/not annoying middle school teen enough? But I hated middle school, so that may color my view. Overall, enjoyed.

ETA: Husband ruined this for me. It is definitely too rosy. Still. Not sad I read it?

A Breakfast Club reference AND Bread and Jam for Frances in the same page? Awesomeness! Also: you‘re never too old to read and love middle grade books, right?
