A great book explaining gentrification for middle schoolers, showing the importance of finding your passion, and standing up for what you believe in. Definitely recommending it to students this year.

It’s more 3.5 ⭐️ for me, mostly because I just generally don’t enjoy juvenile fiction as much as YA or adult fiction. This is such an important topic of gentrification, and the book tackles it in a way that younger kids would be able to understand. It’s a must for upper elementary and middle school libraries and classrooms. The characters were distinct and interesting. The humor and personality of the narrator was good as well.
