You know, it's a special kind of author who can write for multiple audiences. Blake nailed the voice in this book; Ivy is struggling with her identity, struggling with figuring out her new places in her family, and now a tornado took away their home. This book is full of emotion, full of heart, and just a great message to middle grade readers to be themselves.
There are so many sweet moments throughout this book, especially as Ivy figures out how to advocate for herself. Plus, middle grade readers need to see these kinds of stories, the kinds of stories that people are trying to ban. I'm so happy that these stories exist because we need them!
