            Ravi, a boy who moved from India, and Joe, a boy with APD, are in the same class in 5^th grade. Ravi wants to be friends with a kid he thinks is nice, but Joe knows that he’s a bully. Ravi thinks that Joe is the bully, but Joe’s just trying to help him fit in. I loved this book because it shows how different people sometimes have trouble fitting in, and we have to respect everyone equally. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change any part of Save Me a Seat because it was written in such perfect detail that there isn’t anything to change. If I were Joe, I would have told Ravi ahead of time that I didn’t trip him, and that Dillon Samreen is a bully- That would have at least given him a slight warning. If I could pick one juicy word to describe Save Me a Seat it would be  destiny because Joe and Ravi were seemingly destined to stand up for each other in the end. This book is for absolutely anyone of all ages.
