FROM THE DESK OF ZOE WASHINGTON by Janae Marks is about 12-year-old Zoe. Over the course of a summer, Zoe grapples with friendship troubles, an exciting baking internship, and secretly writing letters to her incarcerated father who she’s never met. 

This middle grade book tackles really tough topics in a thoughtful and sensitive way. The characters are so lovable, and I found myself unable to put this book down! This story is hopeful, powerful, and full of growth.
