The Porcupine of Truth | Bill Konigsberg
10 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
The author of OPENLY STRAIGHT returns with an epic road trip involving family history, gay history, the girlfriend our hero can't have, the grandfather he never knew, and the Porcupine of Truth. Carson Smith is resigned to spending his summer in Billings, Montana, helping his mom take care of his father, a dying alcoholic he doesn't really know. Then he meets Aisha Stinson, a beautiful girl who has run away from her difficult family, and Pastor John Logan, who's long held a secret regarding Carson's grandfather, who disappeared without warning or explanation thirty years before. Together, Carson and Aisha embark on an epic road trip to find the answers that might save Carson's dad, restore his fragmented family, and discover the "Porcupine of Truth" in all of their lives.

Oh my gosh! I laughed, I cried, and I hugged this book! I love that this wasn‘t about a romantic relationship. I did figure out some things early, but it didn‘t spoil the story for me at all.

My kiddo introducing Bill Konigsberg. Konigsberg is a generous guest and the teens strongly responded to the book and its themes.

Okay I haven‘t read this one mostly because it doesn‘t fit any of the prompts for the reading challenge I‘m doing, but without a doubt it‘s one of my favourite covers. Look at how cute that little thing in the middle is! Definitely on my trb list #BooksandShelfies #favouritecover @Amabear

I don't really know how I feel about this book. It wasn't my favorite, but it did have its wise moments. I guess my biggest problem was that some of the important characters didn't always seem realistic? I don't know, I'm still processing it.

I need to acquaint myself with more LGBT characters so I picked up this during a quick book store stop. I dislike quick book store stops, I much prefer lingering but I'll take what I can get. 😊

The_Little_Librarian If you're looking for middle school LGBT books George by Alex Gino was very good! 8y
Peddler410 I LOVED George! 8y
