Review:This book is so timely and important! My county just changed their dress code, and it was introduced by a board member in our local newspaper with the title “ Good riddance to dress code that singles out girls,” and there are groups of girls fighting for less discrimination in school all over the nation. Lisa is a native Oregonian and lives with her family outside of Portland. Her books have been translated into foreign languages and have been selected for state reading lists.
She’s also the author of the middle grade novels IT’S RAINING CUPCAKES, MY SECRET GUIDE TO PARIS, SEE YOU ON A STARRY NIGHT and WISH ON ALL THE STARS. Lisa’s written over twenty books for kids and teens including the popular verse novels for teens I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME and CHASING BROOKLYN, and her most recent YA novels, THE BRIDGE FROM ME TO YOU and ALL WE HAVE IS NOW. Since that didn’t work out, she decided to be an author instead. The wave she’ll be making might turn into a tsunami, but if Hazel can find the courage to speak up, she might just change everything.Ībout the Author: Once upon a time, Lisa Schroeder wanted to join Encyclopedia Brown on his fun adventures.
She knows she has to do something, and she can’t do it alone. Middle school is hard enough without causing more trouble, right? She’s happy just eating lunch in the library with her BFF, writing secret haikus, and taking care of an adorable rescue tortoise.īut then Hazel discovers a list that rates the girls at her middle school based on their looks - started by her best friend’s older brother. Summary: Inspired by a true story of girl empowerment, acclaimed author Lisa Schroeder’s new novel explores trust, self-worth, and speaking up - especially when you’re told to keep quiet.
