The Cure for Cold Feet: A Novel in Small Moments

(3) 4-6 In brief free-verse chapters, Izzy (Izzy Kline Has Butterflies) narrates particular moments from her first year of middle school. Changes and challenges, all handled lightly, abound: friendships shift, Izzy's ballroom dance partner is an arch-rival, her mother gets involved with a woman, and she develops a crush on a Spanish exchange student. Angsty but resilient, Izzy is an appealing character with relatable experiences.
