This is a great graphic about a middle grade girl, Vera, who deeply desires to fit in at school or anywhere, really. She finds out about a camp for kids with Russian heritage and begs her mom to let her go. She believes that once there she will FINALLY fit in somewhere. Alas, all is not as it seems and Vera finds she must navigate the waters to becoming her own person herself.

This was a delightful book for middle grade students and has many good lessons to be learned.
