Governor Generalâs Award Finalist Colleen Nelsonâs tale of identity, unlikely friends, and a secret book club, now available in a new paperback format.
Between her fatherâs posting overseas and her best friend Siennaâs move to the other side of the country, seventh grade is looking lonely for Jane MacDonald. But Sienna has left her with one last trick: a hidden message in a library bookâthe perfect plot to start a secret club and find Jane a new book-loving friend.
Tyson Flamand has problems of his own. Since the fourth grade heâs had a reputation as a bad kid, and thereâs no point fighting it when teachers always think the worst. So when he finds an anonymous note in the library looking for a nerdy new friend, he knows heâs the last person in the world it could be meant for. But something makes him answer it anyway, and Tyson finds himself pulled into a secret book club where being hidden may be the first step to being truly seen.
With the insight of a veteran middle-school teacher, Colleen Nelson, author of the award-winning Harvey Comes Home and Sadia, weaves together two stories of identity, expectation, and the courage to challenge both. As their paths move ever closer, Jane and Tyson both discover their own self-reliance and their ability to overcome obstacles that seemed insurmountable.
âTold in alternating chapters from the perspectives of seventh graders Jane and Tyson, this story unfolds with clever aplomb⦠[and] a robustly diverse supporting castâ¦A well-plotted, well-written story that will engage readers and encourage nonreaders.ââKirkus Reviews
