This MG novel is packed full with so many big ideas, and handles them all so very well. It‘s the late-60s, and Ariel‘s sister has run off to elope with the Indian man she‘s fallen for, disappointing her Jewish parents. There are other big changes in 12 yr old Ariel‘s life, including discovering her learning disability, but she grows and becomes braver & more courageous as she learns to trust herself and speak up. 🔽

Sarahreadstoomuch I‘m excited to facilitate a middle school book discussion on this book, and take part in a virtual visit with the author! #bbrc: elephant in the room. #ispybingo: pink clothes 10mo

What do you do when everything in your world changes?? An engaging coming of age novel about learning it is ok to be different, ok to stand up for what you believe in and that family will always be important!
