This book is very interesting. I remember reading it and loving it in middle school, which is the target age group for this book.
There are some instances of Xenophobia and Ableism, as well as misogyny, and half of the humor is based on pulling people apart. There's a disabled character who gets better by the end (mostly by choice), and the main character's mother has never loved her.
When I got a specific section on chess, I realized where I'd learned about the Queen's Sacrifice. It was this book.
