LOVE!!!
So happy to have 3 in a row that I really enjoyed - this one ticks all the boxes - great content, realistic characters, good flow, not too long.
Lilla is feeling pressure on every side and instead of confronting things she stays quiet and goes along with things. But really she's lying to herself and others. When her friend Viv declares it the "summer of brave" she challenges Lilla to stand up for herself. Tell her parents how she feels about the magnet school, tell the boy she likes how she feels, and confront the harassment that made her feel ashamed and afraid.
Very powerful message of empowerment for middle grade girls.
