Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender

This was such a lovely yet kind of heartbreaking book. I haven’t read a middle grade chapter book since I was a child and wow, this was good! I liked the style and appreciated how the author navigated themes/concepts like parental abandonment, loss, school dynamics (read: mean girls) and self-discovery from a 12-year-old’s perspective. I can honestly see how I could have used (and in some ways needed) this book at that age!

Be mindful of CWs!
