Barbara Dee explores the subject of #MeToo for the middle grade audience in this heart-wrenching - and ultimately uplifting - novel about experiencing harassment and unwanted attention from classmates.

For seventh-grader Mila, it starts with some boys giving her an unwanted hug on the school blacktop. A few days later, at recess, one of the boys (and fellow trumpet player), Callum, tells Mila it's his birthday, and asks her for a "birthday hug." He's just being friendly, isn't he? And how can she say no? But Callum's hug lasts a few seconds too long, and feels...weird. According to her friend, Zara, Mila is being immature and overreacting. Doesn't she know what flirting looks like?

But the boys don't leave Mila alone. On the bus. In the halls. During band practice - the one place Mila could always escape.

It doesn't feel like flirting - so what is it? Thanks to a chance meeting, Mila begins to find solace in a new place: karate class. Slowly, with the help of a fellow classmate, Mila learns how to stand her ground and how to respect others - and herself.

From the author of Everything I Know About You, Halfway Normal, and Star-Crossed comes this timely story of a middle school girl standing up and finding her voice.

I disliked how cruel the basketball boys were to Mila. I liked that Mila got mad at the boys eventually.

My favorite part was when Mila finally stood up for herself.

I loved this book!!! It teaches you how to handle boys when they are doing thing you don’t like. And it tests friendship. I think this book should be read by boys and girls. I told my friend that she should read it, she said ‘I love this book’ And I talked about puberty. . .
And how to deal with it. And to never have ANY ONE make you feel uncomfortable about your body.

Too good!!!

Great way for girls and boys to get a more confident conscience if they are getting sexually harassed but are not sure what is happening. Just remember, abuse and harassment don’t always give you bruises on the outside, but they can too. If you are or know something who is experiencing something similar to what is in this story, please tell someone you trust. It does not have to be your parents, or teacher, or doctor, of course, but you have t on tell someone. It can be deadly, all because some kid said « your butt looked cuter in the other sweater » . Stay safe and happy please. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is amazing

It felt very surface level of the issue at hand. I think the author could’ve dove deeper into the problem and shown more of the after effects. Maybe they don’t stop even when confronted by a teacher, idk.

Great, could it go deeper?

I love this audiobook so much! Being a girl I have been told “Maybe he just likes you!” Way to many times! I now have a book to listen to that reminds me I’m not alone, but is also just an amazing book to listen to in my free time!
