All's Faire in Middle School

I read this book after reading roller girl, and though I loved the idea of a ren faire family being the center of a story…There were some issues I had with the book. Imogene’s parents are a good representation of parents who aren’t typical, but it was frustrating that they didn’t prepare their daughter for going to a regular school after being home schooled for a long time (Growing Pains by Molly Ormsbee is a great depiction of home school life) I feel like if Imogene would have been prepared for middle school more she would have struggled less Also, Imogene’s science teacher is Ridiculously mean. Like he should be fired mean. If he spoke to a child of mine, we would have words. And I’d be complaining to the admins. I still really liked the book but the flaws made me feel sad for Imogene.
