I don't read a lot of hard science fiction, so this was a welcome change. Quinn lives a pretty good life with his mother and brother and three close friends. He does pass out a lot, but his life is pretty normal. One day he discovers it isn't, and nothing will ever be the same.
It's hard to discuss this book without spoilers, but it made me think a lot about what it means to be human, to have rights, and what the boundaries of science can or should be. Definitely thought-provoking.

You can win the contest in your own way, even if you don't have a massive beard.
A mischievous gnome gets a little too excited about gardening, and his classmates aren't happy. Can he fix it?
I actually really liked this as a way to differentiate between different magical creatures. Fun for everyone.
Honestly, this was going to be one of my best books of the year because it is SO CUTE and I love the fake-dating-that-might-turn-real trope, but it appears that this book is either outright plagiarism or heavily influenced and not-quite-acknowledged by this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8433044.Seven_Days_Monday___Thursday__Seven_Days___1_
So I don't quite know what to think any more. :/

Cute, although I wish that the snake wasn't always labeled as scary.
This actually more of a middle-grade novel, or really it's just perfect for those middle-school years. It's also very inspiring. I want to fight all the dress codes now. Are dress codes still a thing in pandemic remote schooling? (I know there's some weird thing about having to wear shoes, which I don't understand at all. How do shoes help you learn?)
Molly is horrified when her friend is caught in a dress code violation and the entire class loses out on a field trip. It seems like, at her school, if you have a certain type of body, it's impossible not to get dress coded. One time Molly and her friend wear the same exact outfit, and her friend is dress coded and she is not. Molly starts a podcast, and eventually more protests, about this unfairness. Many students join in, including high school students who remember the awful way they felt, and that it isn't enforced at the high school. Can they get rid of the dress code?
I didn't think much about dress codes in school, other than the fact that I almost never wore shorts because it was hard to find shorts long enough to go past my fingertips. I was lucky to find capris in my size. When I heard about all the students who failed tests and such because they were late to class, or missed class because of a slight clothing violation, it made me so angry. I'm sure there are people in my class who have horrible memories of dress codes. I think it's about time that dress codes that mostly affect women's bodies were a thing of the past.
