Book Riot Read Harder 2022: Pick a challenge from any of the previous years’ challenges to repeat! (Read a middle-grade novel.)

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Although there are some unrealistic details, overall this book is genuine, heartfelt, and inspiring. I love the scientific descriptions of what happens when an egg develops into a chick (looking forward to that TK photo), and the classroom (and family) dynamics are sweet. This will resonate with readers in grades 3-5.
