This was fantastic! I loved the way that history was woven into this story. Bree's confidence grows throughout the book; she meets an amazing new friend group who also helps her. But of course, they're not without the typical turbulence of middle school friendships. It also felt so realistic and well written.

The art was also great! It felt reminiscent of New Kid by Jerry Craft, and middle graders who love that will definitely love this one as well!
