Where the Heart Is by Jo Knowles
3.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In this tender coming of age middle grades read you meet Rachel and Micah, best friends who learn more about the challenges of growing up and the importance of true friendship. It is a sweet story that attempts to embrace that challenges and stresses that come with growing up. I do think it might be a little heavy for sensitive children. The book covers topics such as financial struggles in a family, parents arguing due to stresses, beginning to understand one's sexual identity, and basic peer pressure during teen years.
