Reach for this book when your child feels like a 'fish out of water' or struggles with the gap between their reality at home and the person they want to be at school. Gracie Quicksilver lives a life defined by financial hardship and her mother's eccentric stories about being an exiled alien queen. To escape, Gracie impersonates her wealthy cousin at a posh summer camp, but her attempt to hide her identity is complicated when those 'crazy' family stories start appearing very real. It is a humorous yet touching exploration of identity, social class, and the universal desire to belong. While it features science fiction elements, the heart of the story is a girl learning to accept her unique family and her own worth. It is perfect for middle schoolers navigating social hierarchies and the often-complicated relationship between parents and growing children.
