Hazel Hill is Gonna Win This One is a powerful novel which deals with a serious topic on an age appropriate level, it will definitely stick with me for a long time and I definitely recommend it to everyone, it is an important book, especially for younger teenagers or teenagers-to-be.

This book is SO IMPORTANT! It is aimed at younger readers, with the main character being 12 years old and in middle school, however the book deals with such an important topic and it does so in a aay that is easy for kids around 12 years of age to understand the importance of. Whilst it’s crazy to think that sexual harassment happens to 12 year olds in the book - which is what happens in different forms, online and physically, it does also happen in read life ans it is so important to address these issues. The main characters are all very strong and they fight for what is right, and even then the end is bittersweet, but that’s the reality we live in, not just these characters! I definitely think this book will stick with me for a long time, and it deals with this serious topic in an age appropriate way. to all the Ella Quinns, Hazel Hills,  Rileys and Bella’s, don’t be afraid we are here for you, to all the Tylers: get help and think before you so. 
I am giving Hazel Hill 5 stars as it is a book that has left an effect on me and I feel is important for people to read, as well as being well written.
