I received a free copy of, Miss Liberty, by Erin Moonyeen Haley, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Twelve year old Savvy wants to be Miss Liberty, in the fourth of July parade, unfortunately her sister has been Miss Liberty two many times already. Savvy is such a sweet and fierce character, even with her anxiety, I enjoyed this book.

Miss Liberty is about a 12 year old named Savvy, who wants to be her town's Miss Liberty, a title and role currently held by her older sister Levi. Savvy thinks her time has come, but then Savvy seems to do everything she can to step in the way. What will Savvy do?

Now obviously, I am not the target demo for this book. I do, however, have nieces in this age range who are always looking for recommendations. I feel like this is a good stepping stone into books geared towards older readers. It's set up similarly to YA or NA, but in a way appropriate to 8-12 year olds (3rd-7th grade according to the publisher). I think this would be a good read for kiddos in that age range as long as their reading level matches. I also liked the side them of learning how to deal with anxiety.

Thanks to Harper Collins Children's Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the small-town drama in this book, it does a great job in working for the genre. I thought everything worked well in the plot of the book and how the characters felt like they were supposed to be there. I enjoyed the way this was told and thought everything had that feel that I was looking for. Erin Moonyeen Haley wrote this well and had a charm to this story.
