When I saw the size of this book when I was picking it up at the library I was mad. I was so upset that the librarian told me that I didn’t have to read anything that I didn’t want to and I said “But I have to read this one, I’m judging a book award.” Well, now I’m embarrassed because I LOVED this book. I haven’t been this invested in a nonfiction story in SO LONG. I really found myself invested in figuring out how this crisis happened. :)

This is one of the Battle of the Book Choices for elementary for this upcoming school year. Super adorable! Very important message and I LOVE the food element :)
I’m SO happy this book was chosen for Oregon Battle of the Books for next year. I think that this such a wonderful book. It may be my favorite middle grade I’ve read this year!
I did not enjoy this book very much. It’s crude and crass and uses ableist language I would never want my students to repeat. I’m pretty disappointed this book was chosen for Oregon elementary Battle of the Books for next school year :/
I absolutely LOVED this book! The audiobook was AMAZING and I feel like I need to read the physical copy to have another experience as well. So amazing.
3.5/5 stars.
This book is a really wonderful book that shows Melody just living her life to the fullest. It was super enjoyable and one I will buy for my class as soon as I can.

This book series really is revolutionary. I have never read a book written for kids that so beautifully shows social issues of immigration, racism, xenophobia, and bias from the perspective of a kid. This book and the previous one are so important. I definitely want to have these books in my classroom. They will not only help build empathy, but they will help students make connections to the world we live in now because unfortunately, things have not changed a whole bunch.
Mia is such a loveable character! I love following her and the way that she continuously advocates for herself and her loved ones. The side characters in this book are developed so beautifully. I am so excited to see what happens with these characters in the next book! :)
