“I LOVED this book . . .
Five stars. I cannot wait to talk about this when we head back to school next year. I think my fifth graders are going to love it.” —Colby Sharp, teacher, blogger, and co-founder of the Nerdy Bookclub
"Clements once again effectively taps into the challenges of middle school social politics and mapping out one’s identity. This
empathetic coming-of-age journey makes it clear how limiting and pointless labels can be.” —

"Best-selling author of beloved school stories, Clements (Frindle, 1998) celebrates readers, inclusion, and the joy of discovering new books.
Refreshing and empowering."
—Booklist
"Clements’ text is an homage to the power of books, but it also reminds booklovers old and new that real life experiences—in all of their messiness—can be as
exhilarating as those described in the cherished stories of beloved books."
