Review by meirasara

I would recommend choosing this book. I loved reading it. It was very engaging. I couldn't put it down. Shai's struggles are very realistic. If you can choose this book, do so.

READ THIS BOOK

Review by Potterfan3178

This is one of my favorite books. I love the unique style of the chapter titles, and the twists in the book. It expresses Shai's difficulty adjusting to a new school while keeping one of her friends a secret, as she's considered a laughingstock with her kaleidoscope with her colorful clothing choice. It represents courage most of all.
