Twelve-year-old Riley has anorexia and enters a rehabilitation facility to confront her insecurities about herself, her body, her family, and her friendships in this important middle-grade story.  Because Riley is telling the story through her journal entries, readers can see her inner-thinking and experience how her mindset changes over time with support from her therapists and friends from rehab.  Much of her inner-thinking is laced with rich metaphors and symbolism that will help readers with Riley’s experiences.  This book would make for good family conversations about mental health for readers ages 10-13.
