Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Renée Watson
continues her charming young middle grade series starring Ryan Hart, a
girl who is pure spirit and sunshine.
Ryan Hart is caught in the middle. She has an older brother and a new
baby sister, and she's in a friendship tug-of-war with two friends who
both want to be her best best friend. How can Ryan think about being
kind to a classmate who is relentless with his teasing? Or be her
signature sunny self when her brother, Ray, pulls the ultimate prank?
But even when it seems like nothing is going her way, Ryan still looks
for a way to see the bright side of things, refusing to let anything
steal her joy, and finding ways to share it with everyone she meets.
