I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and publisher and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.

My Thoughts: This book touches a lot of societal issues, but does it in a beautiful and graceful way. It discusses both political and environmental issues. This book is geared toward middle grade students, but would be easily read by a YA or an adult reader. Sydney Vicious Talcott is a wonderful character, you could not help but want things to work out for her. She was uprooted from NY to NC, which is always hard for a middle schooler. Even though she stood out at first, she settles in with a good group of friends. The characters were well developed with depth, passion, and creative. The author’s writing style was creative, intriguing, and engaging. This would be an excellent resource for teachers and libraries to provoke discussion on political and environmental issues among middle schoolers. It could even bridge to high school students to open up dissuasions on equality.
