A Reading Group Guide to T he Misfits by James Howe About the Book “.. Hilarious and poignant.. An upbeat and reassuring novel that encourages preteens and teens to celebrate their individuality.” — Publishers Weekly “Howe tells the truth about the pain and anger caused by jeers and name-calling in a fast, funny, tender story that will touch readers.” — Booklist, starred review Bobby, Skeezie, Addie, and Joe are “the misfits.” Bobby is fat.
Skeezie dresses like it’s 1957. Addie is tall, brainy, and outspoken. And Joe is gay.
They’re used to being called names, but they know they’re better than the names they’re called. Besides, they’ve always had each other when times got tough. And surviving seventh grade looks like it’s not going to be easy. Starting with Addie’s refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance and her insistence on creating a new political party to run for student council, the Gang of Five, as the four friends call themselves, is in for the year of their lives. It’s a year in which they learn about politics and popularity, love and loss, and what it means to be a misfit.
After years of insults, the Gang of Five is determined to stop name-calling at their school. Finally, they are going to stand up and be seen—not as the one-word jokes their classmates have tried to reduce them to, but as the full, complicated human beings they are just beginning to discover they truly are.
