This was the book I didn't know I was looking for! It's Tamora Pierce for a new generation and gave me so many feels as I relived the magic those books brought me when I was young. I love Callie's spunkiness and stubbornness and staunchness for what is good. The supporting cast of characters are all amazing and I cannot wait for book 2!!!

I thought this early reader was so sweet and I can't wait to recommend it. I particularly loved the main character coming to terms with microagressions and how they make you feel. I loved the bonding with the grandma and the learning to cook too!
