Banned in a Florida school on 5/20/2024. I immediately purchased it. Of course.
Excellent middle grade novel about students finding their strength and learning a harsh lesson about the real world and the awful (and not so awful) people who fill it.
The characters are vibrant and relatable and the author teases out a narrative that is so creative and nuanced. I am forever impressed when authors reach deep and somehow find their childhood voice so effectively.
This book touches upon a host of thoughtful topics and I can't recommend it enough.
