PBR Review: (by- Linda - April 2019)

In the Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell, Robert Dugoni creates a beautiful story about a boy born with a genetic abnormality, ocular albinism or red eyes. Growing up and attending Catholic school, he is called "Devil Boy " and is bullied and ostracized by classmates and surprisingly adults too.

That is until one day Ernie, the only black child in school shows up. Sam and Ernie, are soon best friends and along with another outsider, Mickie, their strong bonds of friendship and camaraderie help them face the daily challenges of being different and not accepted. The story follows these three as they move forward into adulthood and define who they are. This book will tug at your heart and bring forth a few tears. Excellent for book clubs.
