I LOVE THIS QUOTE FOR MACKIE, IT IS A SIMPLE ONE, BUT OH SO TRUE! HERE IS MY REVIEW:
I'll Always Miss You by: Raine O'Tierney
Isa Zaman might forgive his parents for taking in a friend’s son if only he wasn't the most boring teenager in the universe. Macklin “Mackie” Cormack’s only interests are reading and the outdoors. Yeah, right. Isa's convinced Mackie is either a pyro or a klepto. Plus, as a white kid, Mackie looks ridiculous in the Zamans' Arab American household. Forced to share a bedroom, the boys keep butting heads until an absurd fight finally breaks the tension between them.
Isa’s just starting to figure life out: this new houseguest, his cultural identity, school, and even girls, when the entire family is uprooted from their home for reasons Isa can't understand. They move from their tiny city apartment to a giant old house in a small town, hours away from everything he's ever known. Oh, and the new house? It's probably haunted, or so says the blank-faced ten-year-old next door. As if things weren't weird enough, Isa's friendship with Mackie suddenly takes a strange turn down a path Isa's not sure he’s ready to follow. It turns out Mackie Cormack isn’t nearly as boring as Isa once imagined.
It is no secret how much I admire this author, and how much heart she puts into her work, and this book is no different! As always, I won't give away any spoilers, but I can tell you how much this book moved me!
Isa is a typical teenager, and then when Mackie comes into his family when he needs a place to stay, Isa is put out! Couldn't they have taken in someone more interesting? Ahh but looks can be deceiving!
Mackie's whole world has been turned upside down, and he has to deal with Isa, and his way of looking for ways to be mad at him. When Mackie gives him a reason to be mad on purpose, this becomes a turning point for the two boys.
This book is about two boys navigating life and learning to live with each other, oh and maybe the occasional out of ordinary 'spooky' incident! Grab this one, young or not it will warm your heart! Thanks Raine, for once again giving us a real winner!
