Middle school was supposed to be a fresh start.
For Nila, it's anything but.
The hallways are too loud. The classrooms move too fast. And the boys who mocked her on the bus are still watching. Her communication device helps her find words-but what she really wants is a voice that feels like her own.
Sophie is trying to keep up too, even as the letters on the page won't stay still. Pretending is getting harder, and the pressure is building.
When an unexpected project brings together four unlikely students-Nila, Sophie, Noah, and Jordan-something begins to shift. What starts as a simple assignment grows into something more: a chance to build connection, courage, and a place where everyone belongs.
Together, they create something brave.
But when a moment of digital cruelty threatens to tear it all apart, Nila must face the moment she's been preparing for all year-the one where she decides who she is and how she will be heard.
Some voices take time to find. That doesn't make them any less powerful.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Friendship stories with heart
- Real-life middle school challenges
- Characters who learn and think differently
- Stories about courage, kindness, and finding your voice
A powerful story that explores:
- Self-advocacy and confidence
- Neurodiversity, including autism and dyslexia
- Bullying and belonging
- Digital citizenship and responsibility
- The truth that while technology can change images, it can't change who you are
