This was a great coming of age story. I love that the author included characters that have had to face many different issues in their short lives; it made it more realistic. I will definitely look for more books written by Leah Johnson in the future. This was an enjoyable and quick read.

Perfectly nice book about competition for Prom Queen in a small town that makes a huge deal about it. Can a girl who doesn't fit the mold (nerdy, black, lesbian) win the crown?

While I enjoyed this I felt like it was all a bit too surface level and I never really felt close or invested in the characters or relationships the way that I wanted to. That said, I'm really glad that books like this exist now because they certainly didn't when I was a teen.

An incredible allegory for everyone who desperately needs a hero.

“[...] That’s the worst part about being different. The loneliness. It’s hard to think of yourself as the same as the person next to you when it seems like no one else is anything like you.”

I’m in awe of this middle-grade novel. And yet, I have no words that are justified enough to explain why. Maybe I have to just speak from the heart. Growing up, I was one of those kids who needed a hero - a person who was just like me. Someone I could look up to so I wouldn’t feel so lonely. Reading a book like this one would have positively changed my whole self-awareness. I would have seen that I have superpowers and that I belong.

Leah Johnson gifted this book to the world when we most needed it. And I’m hoping it will reach the kids who need it the most.
