Ivy Aberdeen's letter to the world / Ashley Herring Blake.
Is this what a crush felt like? A constant stomachache, a bubbly feeling in your fingertips? When a tornado rips through town, twelve-year-old Ivy Aberdeen's house is destroyed and her family of six is displaced. Ivy feels invisible and ignored in the aftermath of the storm - and what's worse, her notebook filled with secret drawings of girls holding hands has gone missing. Mysteriously, Ivy's drawings begin to reappear in her locker with notes from someone telling her to open up about her identity. Ivy thinks - and hopes - that this someone might be her classmate, a girl on whom Ivy has begun to develop a crush. Will Ivy find the strength and courage to follow her true feelings? Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World is an exquisite, tender novel about emerging identity, enriching middle-grade literature at large. -- From dust jacket.
