Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One by Maggie Horne
4.0
A middle grade debut that really packs a punch. For the girls who are fed up of not being listened to, Hazel Hill is your heroine!
Hazel is twelve. She knows she’s gay, but because she’s not that popular she doesn’t fret too much about how people see her. Hazel’s biggest problem when we first meet her is whether she can beat her nemesis, Ella Quinn, in the annul speech competition. However, events quickly take over and our focus shifts to a bigger stage.
While the story focuses on Hazel and her developing friendship with Ella, our prince target is the cheesecake Tyler who has been targeting girls all year, sending them offensive messages and making life generally unpleasant for them.
Hazel and Ella come up with a plan - with a little prompting from the amazing Miss A - so audacious in its simplicity. All they want is to have an adult believe them…so they find the right audience and go for it!
Huge thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this.
