In 1969 twelve-year-old Mimi and her family move to an all-white town in Vermont, where Mimi's mixed-race background and interest in "boyish" topics like astronomy make her feel like an outsider.

This was so great! I love Mimi's whole family and the amazing way that she inspires her community. Such a sweet story.
I read this all in one day. Mimi's voice (in verse) is SO compelling. This book is great at showing Mimi's hurt and rage at being othered (as a half-Japanese, half-black girl in 1969 Vermont) without being didactic. It's a great realistic school story that I'd especially recommend to fans of novels in verse and kids who are interested in the space program (as Mimi is).
