As with her previous stories, I believe that parents of tweens should be making Ms. Chess’s books available to their children, especially their daughters.

I need every teenage girl I know to pick this book up ASAP. I’ll gladly hand them copies myself.

I think that this would be great as assigned reading for high school students. It touches on mental illness (especially undiagnosed or ignored), bullying, and the dangers of not using your voice to speak up.

Every Middle School/High School Girl Should Read This Book.
— LV Mermaid, Goodreads reviewer
This is a really thought provoking work that calls out the pressures and stresses surrounding the cult of image for young girls. Even if you don’t have experience with eating disorders, this book is powerful and will resonate personally.
