Russel has red hair and hazel eyes. He doesn't like to draw attention to himself because he fears that other people will figure out his secret; he's gay. During the book, Russel goes from being an awkward kid who doesn't have a lot of confidence, to a kid who knows who he is and doesn't let other people's opinions stop him.]]> 2017-10-23 12:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199530968 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531242 Peer pressure and sexuality
Russel believed that he was alone, but when he found other gay kids at his school, he realized that he wasn't. He still felt pressured to fit in with the other kids, no matter how much support his friends gave him.]]> 2017-10-23 12:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531242 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531449 You're never alone.
In the beginning of the story, Russel said many times that he felt like the only gay kid in his school. When he found out that some other kids felt the same way, he started to become a little more comfortable with himself. He even helped create a club for other gay students.]]> 2017-10-23 12:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531449 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531533 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars
Geography Club by Brent Hartinger was a very interesting book about a boy trying to come to terms with his sexuality. He wanted to find other kids at his school in a similar situation. I like how the author explains certain parts of the book by using metaphors. It did, however get a bit bland at some points with very drawn out, unnecessary conversations. I liked how the book was realistic. Russel was so obsessed with trying to fit in, he followed the crowd and ended up bullying a kid that he didn't want to. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.]]> 2017-10-23 12:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199531533 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199537308 First Person]]> 2017-10-23 12:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199537308 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/199538886

Towards the end though, he began to show signs of a true leader. For example: In the end of the book, instead of waiting for Kevin to end the relationship, Russel took control and did it himself. He also sat with Brian, the kid that everyone hates at school, at lunch. This shows that he doesn't let what others think stop him from doing what he believes is right.]]> 2017-10-25 12:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/200353668 ranee_danker https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/200361963 Realistic fiction]]> 2017-10-25 12:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ranee_danker/2o5ovcw7gf6s/wish/200361963
