Marianne Blume knows she' s one of the stupid kids. After years of trying and trying and feeling like she' s always failing, she has mastered the art of turning off her brain whenever questions or lectures arise. She gets by in school on a combination of luck, deflection, and charisma-that is, until she lands in the classroom of Mr. Garcia. To avoid flunking Mr. Garcia' s class, Marianne joins her school' s Quiz Quest team, hoping the move will ingratiate her to him, the team' s coach. Can Marianne learn to be smart if she puts her mind to it? And what does it really mean to be ' bright,' anyway? Bright is a readable and empowering story about bucking labels, overcoming preconceptions, and learning to find-and uphold-your own self-worth.
[A] pitch-perfect narrative. . . A winner, indeed, especially for readers who question their own worth. --Kirkus Review [A] thoughtfully rendered novel that. . . organically explores concepts of what it means to work hard and be smart through Marianne' s realistically bumpy arc. --Publishers Weekly A gentle reminder that not everyone is who they seem and a great pick for middle-grade readers searching for where they belong. --Booklist
