Barbara Dee explores the subject of #MeToo for the middle grade audience in this heart-wrenchingâ€”and ultimately upliftingâ€”novel about experiencing harassment and unwanted attention from classmates.

For seventh-grader Mila, it starts with some boys giving her an unwanted hug on the school blacktop. A few days later, at recess, one of the boys (and fellow trumpet player) Callum tells Mila itâ€™s his birthday, and asks her for a â€œbirthday hug.â€ Heâ€™s just being friendly, isnâ€™t he? And how can she say no? But Callumâ€™s hug lasts a few seconds too long, and feelsâ€¦weird. According to her friend, Zara, Mila is being immature and overreacting. Doesnâ€™t she know what flirting looks like?

But the boys donâ€™t leave Mila alone. On the bus. In the halls. During band practiceâ€”the one place Mila could always escape.

It doesnâ€™t feel like flirtingâ€”so what is it? Thanks to a chance meeting, Mila begins to find solace in a new place: karate class. Slowly, with the help of a fellow classmate, Mila learns how to stand her ground and how to respect othersâ€”and herself.

From the author of Everything I Know About You, Halfway Normal, and Star-Crossed comes this timely story of a middle school girl standing up and finding her voice.â€
