perhaps my favourite middle grade book ever <3
okay i’ll admit, i cry a lot, but there was something about this one,,,, that was so gentle, earnest and hopeful that has just left me sobbing
our nb mc does not take anyone’s bs and they stand up for everything they believe in - throwing in easy to understand well written life lessons that you just sit back and go “wow, it really is that simple” i mean COME ON!!!! the shoe metaphor??? i’m still reeling
but i don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that children are going to get THIS now. i am mourning for the child version of me that didn’t have callie and triumphing that so many children like me are now going to get to see them, have them, be them <3
this book is so good guys
