This was excellently written. I like the way the newspaper articles and scientific studies were added to the novel in a way that made sense for the story. It breaks it up but keeps things engaging. This topic is particularly important for middle grade and it’s addressed really well. The growth that we see from Rylee brings things together in a full circle way. This is definitely one I’d add to middle school classrooms.
