(2) 4-6 On the cusp of middle school, eleven-year-old Willa learns that her divorced father has been dating her best friend Ruby's mother--and that Ruby and her mother plan to move into their Manhattan apartment. Through Willa's accessible first-person narration, readers witness her sensory processing issues becoming exacerbated by the mounting changes. Willa's humor, honest reactions, and strong sense of identity offer readers going through their own big changes some solace and understanding.
