What the Book is About
Autumn is in 6th grade and she's not happy about starting middle school now that her best friend has moved away. Despite having social anxiety, Autumn makes new friends: bossy Logan and mysterious Cooper. Autumn is thrilled when she applies for – and gets – the position of anonymous advice columnist in the school paper. But things get out of hand when her advice to someone to stand up for what they believe in leads to vandalism of a factory that tests makeup on animals. Autumn is outed as the writer of the column, which causes friction with her friends. In her column she reminds people to stand up for what they believe in and asks for help cleaning up the graffiti.
Jewish Content & Values
- When Autumn and her mom move, her mom hangs a mezuzah on the doorpost. Autumn wears a hamsa that her grandma brought back from Israel. She bakes hamantashen for a Purim party at her temple. Autumn remembers sharing her dinosaur menorah at school when she was younger.
- Autumn is writing a book about a girl with an invisibility superpower. The girl goes to temple and sees graffiti on the stained-glass windows. She paints a mural over the graffiti, of people holding hands.
Content Advisory
The protagonist’s mother is a vet, so there are references to sick or injured animals. There is also a passing reference to a dog who was killed by a snowplow.
