Okay for Now / Gary Schmidt / 360 pages

If you read the Wednesday Wars by Schmidt, you will remember the Swieteck kids...troublemakers.  Okay for Now is the story of Doug Swieteck, his move to a little town, his abusive father, his secret of not being able to read, and his discovery that who we are is not based on our family or what anyone else thinks of us.  This is a story of hope.  I hope you read it...you won't be sorry.
