This is going to find its place and will do well thanks to the name of the author... it just wasn’t my thing... I didn’t enjoy the writing style (too chatty but didn’t really sound like any kids I have met) and it was kind of preachy. I love that it is STEM based and I think the idea, I just wasn’t thrilled by it overall.

This book was everything that I was hoping for. When I first heard about this book I was so excited because of course there was a girl of color on the cover of the book which is awesome. When my daughter and I were trying to 9find a book for her to read she immediately grabbed the book without no hesistation. When she showed me the book I remember that the book was just released and I was able to speak to one of the authors of the book, which I was so happy to meet her. Debbie strongly recommended this book when she met my daughter and I am so happy that my daughter enjoyed it. My daughter and I read it every night before she went to bed she fell in love with the main character Hope and so did I. I even enjoyed this book because it talked about science, friendship, teamwork, and speaking up for yourself. This book was inspirational for my daughter and I. Also before I began reading to my daughter I made her count to the number of the chapter that we were on. She enjoyed the interaction and she also loved the pictures that were in the book as well. Every time we saw pictures my daughter always confirmed which one was Hope, her best friend Sam, and Hope's new friends Camila and Grace. My daughter loved this book so much she wanted to read more about Hope and her friends and she was so sad when I told her we had to wait for the next book to come out. But once I told her that she needed to be patient and understanding like Hope she did calm down. Now mind you my daughter is only four and she loved this book. This book is awesome and it is a book that I would reread to my daughter again and again.

I received an eARC of this from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Hope is starting middle school and that creates a whole new world of problems. While she is a budding STEM girl, her best friend has made new friends over the summer and replaced(?) her. Hope joins the science club and knows that she could show off her stuff, but the boys won’t let her. Hope is determined to get more girls involved and stop the boys from taking over.
This book read younger than it was intended. This would work better as an episodic cartoon.

Hope is starting middle school and for the first time ever won't be in every class with her best friend Sam. After day one they are have very different experiences and Hope isn't sure their friendship will last. A great story about adjusting to a 'new normal' and overcoming obstacles.
