Barbara Dee does it again! She tackles such interesting, thoughtful, relevant topics in a digestible and accessible manner. She carries such a non-judgmental tone in writing but simultaneously asks her audience to challenge their perspective of themselves, the world, and others. Will recommend!

Freya's mission to show her town's true history is a great lesson in activism for students. I love her fighting spirit and her voice! I couldn't put this one down!

While working on a Social Studies project to learn about her town's local here, Freya reads that he was opposed to women getting the chance to vote. She is upset by his information, and sets off to convince others to stop treating Benjamin Wellstone as a hero. She convinces some to join her in her activism, and she is met with some pushback as well.

Freya is a bold character who plows ahead when she has an idea. Because of her brash action she has some missteps along the way. Thankfully she has some supportive adults who help to guide her and point her in a positive direction without crushing her spirit and passion.

Ms. Dee perfectly captures the impulses and passions of middle schoolers. Freya is a character who student readers will connect with, and she may just inspire them to make a difference in their towns too.
