hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I liked the message about talking it out with bullies when they're just kids who are hurting and are scared. I liked how Ava found her confidence through improv and grew to appreciate her own voice. I hope the chronic illness and (invisible) disability rep will help kids see themselves and help others learn and understand better what peers are going through.

Otherwise this wasn't a favourite, middle of the road.
