The Way to Bea by Kat Yeh
4.0
Do you know the difference between a maze and a labyrinth? You'll find out in this book. Also, I coincidentally watched Labyrinth while I was in the middle of this book, and I found out the movie should actually be named Maze.
Anyway, there are only minor similarities between the David Bowie movie and this book. The book is more family appropriate, and really captures that awkward stage in life called seventh grade. It addresses the struggle of staying true to yourself versus conforming to the norm.
Through the novel, Bea deals with the loss of a friendship and the gain of new ones.
Bea is a poet
Haiku is her go-to form
Of poetry, obv.
The supporting characters (both kid and adult) weren't one-dimensional, and provided Bea with thoughtful and difficult interactions. From my previous experiences of being a shy, artistic kid, this was highly relatable.
Consider me charmed.
