I may be biased from my year as a synchro kid, but this was a delight! Nat’s spunk and determination are infectious and I loved the nuanced layers to her friendships and family relationships. Not to mention it’s full of thoughtful Latinx, queer, and fat representation. High recommend to middle grade readers.
