This is the story of Rex Ogle's first semester in sixth grade, starting middle school on the free lunch program is timely, heartbreaking, and true. Rex and his baby brother often went hungry, wore secondhand clothes, and were short of school supplies, and Rex was on his school's free lunch program. Grounded in the immediacy of physical hunger and the humiliation of having to announce it every day in the school lunch line, this is a compelling story of a more profound hunger, that of a child for his parents' love and care. 208 pages.
