Full of supportive, well-rounded secondary characters (who, importantly don't just support Grace but challenge her and help her see her way through things), this look at identity, relationships, and goals is a great read with the important reminder that you are more than just your accomplishments.

This well-developed mystery is a solid read with a satisfying conclusion. Here's to hoping Simon, who has had plenty of adventure just while in their new city, finally gets the stable and permanent home he longs for!

I just really can't say enough positive things about the book. It's so well-written, powerful, and absorbing. Headen somehow balances the onslaught of racist threats and assaults with so much joy and community and hope. An absolute must-buy for all libraries.
