Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Amelia asked this question about Fish in a Tree:
I've noticed that most teens/tweens appear to not have enjoyed this book. I mean, I'm in sixth grade, so it sounds like the right age for me. But I'm so sick of the exaggeration of sixth graders.

If you enjoy books with teacher characters who try to support kids who act out and help them develop coping skills, then you might enjoy it.

The fourth and fifth graders at my school LOVE this book:)(less)
