Meet the Author:
G.C. McRae is the bestselling author of two young adult novels, three illustrated children's books and a collection of original fairy tales. His writing is fall-down funny, even when the theme is darker than a coal-miner’s cough. McRae reads to anybody at any time, in person or online, for free, which probably explains why he meets so many people and sells so many books.
In his latest work, Free Pizza, McRae spins the highly emotional themes from his decidedly unfunny childhood into a brilliantly comic yarn. After being given up for adoption by his teenage mom back when single girls were forced to hide unplanned pregnancies, his adoptive parents didn’t exactly keep him under the stairs but, well, let's just say, there were spiders.
A lot has changed since then. McRae’s own children have now grown and he runs a small farm with his wife, who is herself an award-winning writer.

My Review
Free Pizza by G.C. McRae was a cool fictional book that most middle school aged children would enjoy. I liked how it stated out making me think it was all about food only to quickly discover the book had a lot more depth to it and was filled with real life lessons wrapped up in an enjoyable fictional story. Brian McSpadden made for a great main character and I would love to see more books with him in them!
