Reach for this book when your middle grader is struggling with snap judgments or feeling disappointed because things didn't go according to their 'perfect' plan. Brianna Justice is a determined, ambitious girl who thinks she knows exactly what she wants (and who is 'important' enough to help her get it). When she is paired with a mentor she deems boring and sent to cover a coding program in a different neighborhood, she is forced to confront her own biases and the stereotypes she holds about others. It is a fantastic choice for parents looking to encourage empathy and social awareness. The story explores themes of self-confidence and community connection in a way that feels modern and relatable for the 8 to 12 age range. It beautifully models how opening your mind can lead to unexpected friendships and personal growth.
