All's Faire in Middle School


















When it is Renaissance Faire season, Imogene's whole family gets involved.  Her dad is an actor, he mom has a shop, and this year Imogene gets to be a squire which means mainly helping her dad and scooping up horse droppings.  But still, she gets to be involved, play with kids.  For the most part she loves this part of her life.

But, Imogene made a big decision this year.  Instead of being homeschooled she is going to attend middle school.  She doesn't know exactly how to fit in, make friends, and navigate the pitfalls.  Can Imogene learn to fit in and be true to herself?

I loved this!!!  It is a glimpse into Renaissance Faire culture but so much more.  It tackles middle school issues in a fresh way.  The illustrations are charming.  What a winner!
