Turning eleven means it’s time to do a lot of things. For Maggie Mayfield, future President of the United States of America, it means owning stock in Coca-Cola, appreciating the artistry of Neil Young, and starting middle school, where winning Student of the Month for the fifth or sixth time doesn’t matter as much as making a new friend or having a crush on the beautiful new boy in town. And it also means much more: It means it’s finally time to understand why your cool dude dad is in a wheelchair, why he had to quit his job, and what you can do to fix him. Because for Maggie, solutions are always somewhere to be found, just like the last elusive piece in a jigsaw puzzle. But she’s about to find out the truth is big and complicated—even for an A-plus-plus student like herself.
This debut coming-of-age novel from a fresh new talent will have readers laughing, cheering, and crying (just a little) as they learn, like Maggie, what it means to be okay—and what it means to live.
