This is another great example of a middle grade anthology. I listened to this one via @Libro.fm's ALC program for educators. Each short story follows a middle schooler as they navigate O'Hare airport during a summer storm which causes flight delays. As tensions rise, they face their own individual conflicts but many of them also face microaggressions and outright racism. The stories reference each other in small details which are fun to make connections with. Recommend for upper elementary and middle school!
