About The Book
Seventh grader Bag loves to read. It doesn’t come easy to her, thanks to her dyslexia, but she’s determined, and she spends every afternoon after school at the library. It’s a ritual she refuses to miss.
Then a new career opportunity for her mother means Bag will no longer have a ride to her cherished library. Instead, Bag will have to wait for a ride at school. With her sister, Minerva. At cheerleading practice.
Bag is uncoordinated and completely uninterested in school spirit. But she is curious about what her sister has been hiding. Minerva has been acting stranger than usual, and Bag has been noticing. So while cheerleading practice may be the last place Bag wants to be, she’s going to use her time wisely and get to the bottom of Minerva’s secrets.

Raves and Reviews
"
Narrator Jesse Vilinsky creates a passionate voice for 12-year-old Margaret-called Bag-who is trying to fit in at her new school in Rhode Island even though she longs for her old life in New York City before her dad left them. When her mom, an aspiring actor, gets a role at a local theater and can’t pick her up immediately after school, she ends up getting stuck at her sister Minvera’s cheerleading practice rather than her safe haven, the public library. Vilinsky captures Bag’s emotions as she deals with Minvera's animosity toward her. Fans of realistic fiction will cheer Bag on as she works to piece her family back together and find a new way forward."
