About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child becoming increasingly anxious about maintaining a high-achieving image or when they start hiding their mistakes to avoid disappointing others. Alex is the girl who seems to have it all together, but the pressure of being the dependable one starts to crumble during a summer at camp. The story explores the heavy burden of perfectionism and the fear that being human will cost us our friendships. It is a relatable, age-appropriate look at the transition from elementary to middle school social dynamics. Parents will appreciate how it models the relief found in vulnerability and the importance of being honest about one's struggles rather than retreating into isolation.
