New town, unfair lunch lines. Can Ellie find friendship through change?
Ellie feels out of place in her new town, where her love for books sets her apart. Struggling with mispronounced names and loneliness, she discovers a chance to make a difference. When students face unfair lunch lines, Ellie steps up to lead the charge for change. As she fights for shorter lines and better food, will she also find the friendship she craves? Dive into Ellie's journey of self-discovery and see if her courage can transform not just the cafeteria, but her own life.
When Ellie’s family moves to a new town, she’s sure she won’t fit in. Nobody else likes to read as much as she does, and even the teachers can’t get her name right. But when the students need someone to help them rally against unfair lunch lines, it’s Ellie to the rescue–and if shorter lines and better food prevail, can friendship be far behind?
