instante. Ya no puede confiar en su mejor amigo, y no puede dejar de
pensar en una linda chica de su clase, que es posible esté interesada en
él. Con tantas cosas sucediendo, a Rex todo le resulta borroso, ¡hasta
su visión! Entonces descubre que necesita usar gafas, y su familia solo
puede comprarle el par más feo de la tienda. Cualquier esperanza que Rex
tuviera de encajar se desvanece por completo.En esta historia real sobre

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 true
coming-of-age 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!
