Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One
Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One | Maggie Horne
1 post | 1 read
A funny, feminist, and queer contemporary middle grade debut about 12-year-old loner Hazel Hill, who after one of her classmates is harassed online, devises a plan to catch the school's golden boy in the act. Seventh grader Hazel Hill is too busy for friends. No, really. She needs to focus on winning the school-wide speech competition and beating her nemesis, the popular and smart Ella Quinn, after last year's embarrassing hyperbole/hyperbowl mishap that cost her first place. But when Hazel discovers Ella is being harassed by golden boy Tyler Harris, she has to choose between winning and doing the right thing. No one would believe that a nice boy like Tyler would harass and intimidate a nice girl like Ella, but Hazel knows the truth--and she's determined to prove it, even if it means risking everything. Deeply relatable and surprisingly humorous, Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One is a wonderfully empowering story about friendship, finding your voice, and standing up for what you believe in.

This is such an important, well-crafted middlegrade novel about developing friendships, growing up, school- and family-life as well as the kind of harassment young students can face at the hands of their schoolmates. And the taking down of said harassers. Because that's what Hazel does. Along with her friends. Because they're hecking cool. Also!! Queer themes!! Loved this so much.
