Oh wow this was so powerful. This was so well-written and Ellie was such a complex and full-fledged character. I found myself cheering for her when she started standing up for herself.
This was a great middle grade read that shows tremendous growth in the main character. Not only does she gradually gain confidence in standing up for herself - but she stands up for herself TO HER MOM! Which is impressive and amazing and something I’m still learning to do.
