I knew I was going to love this book by the time I got to the second page. For one thing, I love characters that are always addressed by their first and last names and LaVander Peeler is just a great name. For another, I love when characters have a little catch phrase -- LaVander's is "All things considered..." It seems an appropriate catch phrase as all things really are considered in this book: race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, love.
The story is about a teenager named City Coldson and his four days with his grandma in rural Mississippi. At the center of this story are time travelers, a couple of different books called "Long Division," and a heart-breaky teen love story. Seriously, this book has everything. It is for everyone.
