ABOUT THE BOOK:
Twelve-year-old Ella and her best friend Z are mocked by their classmates and considered the “weird” kids in their 6th grade class. When a new boy, Bailey comes to their school, he befriends Ella, giving her a chance to make new friends and join a more popular crowd. But to do so, she’d have to leave Z behind. Ella faces a difficult decision in this story about friendship, fitting in, and discovering that the right choice isn’t usually the easy choice–and sometimes there’s no easy choice at all.“… a sensitive and articulate portrait of a pair of middle-school outsiders.” —Publishers Weekly
“This elegantly crafted story features strong writing and solid characterizations….Ella and Bailey’s racial identity is one element in a full and richly textured narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred
“Magoon writes with insight, wit, and compassion.” —School Library Journal
