Four Eyes - Rex Ogle

A funny, heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel memoir about fitting in at school, facing bullies and finding the right pair of glasses. Perfect for age 8+.

Sixth grade isn't as great as Rex thought it would be. He's the only kid who hasn't had a growth spurt, and the bullies won't let him forget it. His closest friend is unreliable, at best. And there's a cute girl in his class who he can't stop thinking about. With so much going on, everything is a blur – including Rex's vision! So when he discovers that he needs glasses, and his family can only afford the ugliest pair in the store, any hope Rex had of fitting in goes completely out of focus.

In this coming-of-age true story, Rex has his sights set on surviving sixth grade, but now he's got to find a way to do it with glasses, no friends and a family that just doesn't get it!
