Ivy Aberdeen's Letter To The World

"The tornado that leaves Ivy’s family homeless only compounds a whirlwind of emotions in Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World. Feeling invisible and adrift, Ivy has been expressing herself in her drawings, and she’s devastated when her notebook disappears. It eventually resurfaces – one page at a time, with notes encouraging Ivy to talk about her feelings. But Ivy doesn’t know who’s trying to get her to reveal that she feels “fluttery” around her new friend, June. Ashley Herring Blake’s novel captures the confusion, thrills and heartache of a first crush so perfectly that you will hold this book close to your heart. (For ages 10 to 13)"
