Maybe He Just Likes You de Barbara Dee
Warning: there is reference to a gay character; however, this plays a very minor role in the whole story. Sexual harassment is discussed in the book so parents should be aware of the subject and be prepared to discuss with their children. The author does a great job giving examples throughout the story without sexual descriptions or graphic content.
Gr 4–8—Wren is going through some difficult changes: Her father left and started a new family, and she and her

actions elegantly unfold in Dee's well-crafted story, which deftly addresses heavy topics such as parental separation
and opioid addiction.
