Free Lunch is the story of Rex Ogle’s first term in Year 7. Rex and his baby brother often went hungry, wore second-hand clothes and were short of school supplies, and Ogle was on his school’s free lunch programme. Grounded in the immediacy of physical hunger and the humiliation of having to announce it every day in the school lunch line, Ogle’s is a compelling story of a more profound hunger—that of a child for his parents’ love and care. Compulsively readable, beautifully crafted and authentically told with the voice and point of view of an eleven-year-old child, Free Lunch is a remarkable debut by a gifted storyteller. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

Punching Bag is the compelling true story of a high school career defined by poverty and punctuated by outbreaks of domestic abuse. Rex Ogle, who brilliantly mapped his experience of hunger in Free Lunch, here describes his struggle to survive; reflects on his complex, often paradoxical relationship with his passionate, fierce mother; and charts the trajectory of his stepdad’s anger. Hovering over Rex’s story is the talismanic presence of his unborn baby sister.Through it all, Rex threads moments of grace and humour that act as beacons of light in the darkness. Compulsively readable, beautifully crafted and authentically told, Punching Bag is a remarkable memoir about one teenager’s cycle of violence, blame, and attempts to forgive his parents—and himself. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

When Rex was outed the summer after he graduated high school, his father gave him a choice: he could stay at home, find a girlfriend and attend church twice a week, or he could be gay—and leave. Rex left, driving toward the only other gay man he knew and a toxic relationship that would ultimately leave him homeless and desperate on the streets of New Orleans.Here, Rex tells the story of his coming out and his father’s rejection of his identity, navigating abuse and survival on the streets. Road Home is a devastating and incandescent reflection on Rex’s hunger—for food, for love and for a place to call home—completing the trilogy of memoirs that began with the award-winning Free Lunch. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch, Rex Ogle’s abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse, Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence of a woman he could always count on—to give him warm hugs and ear kisses, to teach him precious words in Spanish, to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted and to offer safety when darkness closed in. Throughout a coming of age marked by violence and dysfunction, Abuela’s red-brick house in Abilene, Texas, offered Rex the possibility of home and Abuela herself the possibility for a better life.Abuela, Don’t Forget Me is a lyrical portrait of the transformative and towering woman who believed in Rex even when he didn’t yet know how to believe in himself. - Häftad, Engelska, 2023

Almuerzo gratis es la historia de los esfuerzos de Rex Ogle por abrirse camino en su primer semestre de sexto grado como niño pobre en un distrito escolar rico: decidir con quién sentarse, no poder unirse al equipo de fútbol americano, además de lidiar con nuevos compañeros de clase y con una profesora que de solo mirarlo lo tilda de problemático. Y en lugar de darle dinero para el almuerzo, la madre de Rex lo inscribe en el programa de almuerzo gratis. Ni ella ni su novio tienen trabajo, y la vida en su casa está marcada por estallidos de violencia.Implacable y realista, la desgarradora autobiografía de Rex Ogle es una historia de adversidades entrelazadas con esperanza y momentos de gracia. La voz de Rex es convincente y auténtica, lo que hace de Almuerzo gratis una obra honesta, oportuna y esencial que ilustra la experiencia de la pobreza en Estados Unidos. - Häftad, Engelska, 2026
