About the Book

From Barbara Dee, the critically acclaimed author of Maybe He Just Likes You, comes a middle grade novelabout a girl who makes the choice to speak out against a problematic historical hometown figure no matter thecost--perfect for readers of Dress Coded.For as long as Freya can remember, she has loved living in her cozy hometown of Wellstone. Not only is thetown itself named for local and historical hero Benjamin Wellstone but everything in it: schools, beaches, andstores. There's even a giant statue of him to remind everyone of the good things he did.But while doing research for a big school project, Freya discovers that Benjamin isn't the big hero everyone hasbeen taught to believe. He had some redeeming qualities, but he also held incredibly problematic views towardswomen, believing they shouldn't have the right to vote--or even to exist outside of the home. Disappointed byher revelation, Freya wonders if she could figure out a way to not only show what the hometown hero was reallylike but replace his statue with one of an unsung hero: local suffragette Octavia Padgett.Though Freya knows not everyone will agree with her, she is shocked when her efforts cause even biggerissues than she could have imagined. Even her own parents seem uneasy with Freya's cause. With the help ofher beloved Nan, friends new and old, and the coolest librarian she's ever met, can Freya stand firm and teardown outdated views?
