3.5 Stars ⭐ - (One of those cases where I wish Goodreads had 1/2 or 3/4 stars.) Listened to this via Libby - full cast audio - and genuinely enjoyed it (and felt a whole range of emotions along the way). Read this primarily as a read-ahead for a potential novel study for 7th graders next school year. The whole time I was reading/listening, I was researching lit sets and didn't have to look too hard to find tools to make this one "come alive" as it does that all on its own via the audiobook. Considering it for a read aloud. Hard topics, necessary topics, and hoping for lots of great discussion.
