Milo: Sticky Notes and Brain Freeze

We've been reading the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees! Post a comment to share your thoughts on the Division I and II nominee, Milo: Sticky Notes and Brain Freeze by Alan Silberberg.

Loveable thirteen-year-old geek Milo Cruikshank finds reasons for frustration at every turn, from the annoying habits of his neighbors to his futile efforts to get Summer Goodman to realize his existence. The truth is, ever since Milo’s mother died, nothing has gone right. Now instead of the kitchen being full of music, his whole house has been filled with Fog. Nothing’s the same. Not his Dad. Not his sister. And definitely not him. Milo achieves a rare and easy balance of poignancy and awkward, natural humor, making it deeply accessible—this is the kind of book that can change lives.
