One True Way by Shannon Hitchcock

One True Way is about middle schoolers finding out who they are. Every page has some kind of drama or event that can't be missed. One of the best parts is that it's a perfect book for readers that are easily bored at the slow climax at the start of most books.

This balance between philosophy and entertainment makes Grendel an interesting and enjoyable read.
