Produktbeschreibung

Eva feels like a middle school misfit, a weirdo, a friendless loser. Yet she has a best friend, Isaiah, and she's kind to everyone she meets. Eva's not a bully. Or bullied. She's not a teaser. Or teased. She's not a shunner. Or shunned. But she feels like nobody really cares if she's in their friend circle or not. She's tolerated, but not enthusiastically embraced. This is the story of a young girl who longs to be invited to the parties, included in the sleepovers and involved in the social activities, but feels invisible and ignored. Is it because she's artsy, and her fashion tastes are peculiar? Is her niceness mistaken for boringness? Or is she saying and doing things that really are weird? As Eva questions everything about who she is and her lowly social status, can the love of her parents and the wisdom of a loyal friend help her see the truth and regain her self-worth? Am I Weird? is a compelling chapter book that speaks to the not-so-hidden fears and struggles every middle schooler has about fitting in, feeling insecure and staying true to yourself even when it's scary.
