Absolutely Almost

By: Lisa Graff

Narrated by: Noah Galvin

Albie has never been the smartest kid in his class. He has never been the tallest. Or the best at gym. Or the greatest artist. Or the most musical. In fact, Albie has a long list of the things he's not very good at. And his parents keep reminding him of those things all the time...even when it's just by accident. But then Albie gets a new babysitter, Calista, who helps him figure out all of the things he is good at and how he can take pride in himself. A perfect companion to Lisa Graff's A Tangle of Knots, this novel explores a similar theme in a realistic contemporary world where kids will easily be able to relate their own struggles to Albie's. Once again, Graff crafts a beautiful novel about figuring out who you are and doing what you love.

great read aloud

This is a nice middle grade read aloud with a lot of great points for discussion! Good, rich, flawed characters provide an opportunity to discuss with kids. loved it! the audio book is very well done too!

Great read for the family.

Touches on important topics from a child's perspective. We really enjoyed it on our car rides to and from school.

awesome
