Witty Scrabble kid finds friendship in unlikely places.

"Word Nerd" would be a great read for young adults who enjoy realistic fiction with engaging characters. The story captures the essence of friendship, resilience, and self-discovery through the experiences of a young boy with unique quirks. The author does a fantastic job of building empathy towards the protagonist by highlighting his social struggles, family dynamics, and love for Scrabble. It's a heartwarming story that shows us how even the most unusual friendships can make a positive impact in our lives.

Description

Ambrose Bukowski is a twelve-year-old with a talent for mismatching his clothes, for saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time, and for words. In short, he’s a self-described nerd. Making friends is especially hard because he and his overprotective mother, Irene, have had to move so often. And when bullies at his latest school almost kill him by deliberately slipping a peanut into his sandwich to set off his allergy, it's his mother who has the extreme reaction. From now on, Ambrose has to be home-schooled.Then Ambrose strikes up an unlikely friendship with the landlord's son, Cosmo, an ex-con who's been in prison. They have nothing in common except for Scrabble. But a small deception grows out of control when Ambrose convinces a reluctant Cosmo to take him to a Scrabble club. Could this spell disaster for Ambrose?
