Thanks to @scholasticinc and the @kidlitexchange network for the advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this recent release. Maisie tries her best to blend in; as she has grown over the years, she has been subject to brutal words and pranks. Now she is stuck with uber popular Jesse as her chemistry partner - the same guy who filled her locker with Fruit Loops freshman year. She decides to create a fake social media profile to humiliate him, but when it goes too far she may not be able to fix things. The story has themes of self-acceptance and celebrating your strengths; it is bound to circulate well in middle school libraries.
