Title
"Eight fifth-graders actively tackle both personal relationships
and social issues in this epistolary tale. Scheerger does an
expert job throughout. Moreover, the author infuses her story
in nonpreachy ways with themes of kindness, respect for others, and
the importance of acting responsibly, capped by a list of helpful
web resources." —Booklist
"Inspired by their radical teacher, eight elementary school
students speak up for what they believe in and make change in their
school community. In Scheerger's middle-grade debut, she tackles
issues of friendship, bullying, immigration, women's rights, access
to education, and homelessness/poverty. Her characters
are genuine and complex as they grow and change.
A thoughtful exploration of the power of the collective
voice--growing up is owning up and speaking up. " —Kirkus
