The Right Hook of Devin Velma by Jake BurtMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Devin and Addi are best friends and have been friends forever. They are opposites in most every way. Devin's father has medical bills that the family can't afford and Devin decides that if he can pull off a stunt that goes viral he can help with the bills. Addi is drawn into Devin's stunts as an unwitting co-conspirator...until one stunt goes dramatically wrong.
I loved this book. I liked the friendship between the boys AND the friendship between the families. Devin's grandmothers - G, Double-G, and Triple G - were like a Greek chorus and made me laugh every time. Addi's freezing and not being able to talk in new situations is so typical of kids his age and the author conveyed his interior thoughts beautifully.
