It's also a page turner with amazing messages throughout. Highly recommend!I've always worried about reading fiction centered around sports, because I'm not one for the sports. I did, however, join a dragonboat team one summer (pictures for proof) and had the best time! That being said, even if you haven't done a sport in your life, I believe you'll still very much enjoy this read!This book is just as addictive as binging the Lying Game or Pretty Little Liars (whether in book or show form) and it very much had those vibes!Also, It needs to be said that I was vocally cheering on these amazing characters with tears in my eyes at the end!Soon to be adapted for Hulu, by the producer of Pretty Little Liars!

Perfect for starting conversations with your middle schooler.I love a great story with a great message! You could say that this story is about a lot of different things.To name a few, it's a middle grade fantasy coming of age about self acceptance, found family, prejudices, trusting in yourself to make tough decisions, all while navigating friendships.All this to say, if you were looking for a conversation starter for your child or your classroom, this could be it!Thank you to @simonschusterca for the gifted ARC all opinions are entirely my own. #bookstagram #theshapeshiftersguidetogymclass #simonandschusterinfluencer #middlegradefantasy #childrensfiction 2026-09-06T16:28:20Z Blog
