Middle school can be hard.
 In addition to finding your way around a new school, students are beginning a journey of self-discovery. Ellie takes this journey throughout the story. You may identify with her feelings and experiences; happiness, sadness, confusion, hunger, and complete exhaustion are all thrown together into the blender of life. The results can be alarming or exhilarating. You are going to go on a journey of self-discovery to prepare for reading The Fourteenth Goldfish.
