    About this audiobook

    From Sharon Creech, Newbery Medal winner and New York Times bestselling author, comes a powerful coming-of-age story of a girl who discovers the endless possibilities her future may hold, with help from a brilliant teacher and a boy with a generous smile.

    Perfect for fans of Love That Dog, this tale is about the transformative power of imagination and the journey to becoming who you are meant to be. This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, at home or at school. It’s a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom.

    Gina Filomena has been told she has an overactive imagination. With her bright clothing and artistic spirit, she’s always felt different from the other kids in her class. That is, until she meets her new neighbor, a mysterious boy named Antonio with a wide, welcoming smile.

    Add in a creative new teacher, Miss Lightstone, and a world of possibilities opens up for Gina, Antonio, and their classmates. With the help of Antonio and Miss Lightstone, will Gina find the answers to the questions Who am I? and Who do I want to be?

      Gina doesn’t fit in, probably because she has an excellent imagination.
      A new teacher arrives at her school and Wednesdays are...silent day?
      In Gina’s neighborhood, a boy who sees strange things and is always smiling moves in next door.
      A new English teacher, a new neighbor and too much pasta makes for a great book about discovering who you really are.
      I loved this book.
    • 5/5
      Beautifully written with lots of practical writing advice. Inspiring for writers young and old. The book seems semi-autobiographical to me.
    • 4/5
      Engrossing, lovely story about communicating and making connections through writing, as told by a young girl who enjoys the eccentricity of those around her.
