Romance and other things

Navigating Early - Clare Vanderpool I am an adult, but I love some middle grade and YA books. Not all of them obviously, some of them feel like not my cup of tea, especially those who talk down to kids and teens. This one really does not. The blurb summarizes the story pretty effectively - two boys who feel like outsiders in the boarding school go on a mysterious quest to find Pi who was lost in the imaginary story one of the boys hears from the numbers he loves (the real story is much much better than my summary, I swear) and found some really lost souls and to the degree found themselves on that trip. The writing is very beautiful, I cannot really know whether the middle grade kid will love it, I am hesitating to start it with 8 year old yet, but if you are an adult like me, who devoured Harry Potter (this book does not have the kind of magic Harry Potter does I am just bringing it up as example of series which IMO did not talk down to kids) and other books which rightfully belongs to kids, I totally recommend it.
