I love this book! I wish I had a friend like Molly when I was in middle school. Her inclusiveness and heart for justice are so delightful! If you’ve ever struggled with self-esteem, worried about what you wore to school, or wondered if there are good kids in the world, you should read this book.

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. To be fair--I do think part of the problem was the timing/me and not the book. I loved the theme and the kids coming together to take a stand.
