描述
Zoey admires the octopus. She imagines having eight arms would help with her many responsibilities beyond what should be demanded of a twelve-year-old girl. At first, Zoey struggles with just getting by. But upon reluctantly joining the debate club, she learns to do more than just survive, finding her voice and the courage to use it. Rich with empathy, this book presents the day-to-day realities of students navigating poverty, cultural divides, domestic violence, and gun violence authentically through the eyes of a young, resilient girl. It is a perfect book for readers from all walks of life.
