{"product_id":"ellie-engle-saves-herself-1","title":"Ellie Engle Saves Herself","description":"From award-winning YA author Leah Johnson comes her magical middle grade debut: a laugh-until-you-cry, cry-until-you-laugh story about an ordinary girl whose life is turned upside down by some extraordinary powers.\n\nKirkus Best of 2023\n\nChicago Public Library’s Best of the Best Books of 2023\n\nNamed a Best Book of 2023 by School Library Journal\n\nShortlisted for the 2024 LGBTQ+ Middle Grade Lambda Literary Award The Bank Street Best Books of the Year List, 2024 (Star for Outstanding Merit) Selected for the ALA Booklist Rainbow List, 2024\n\nEllie Engle doesn’t stand out. Not at home, where she's alone with her pet fish since her dad moved away and her mom has to work around the clock . Not at the bakery, where she helps out old Mr. Walker on the weekends. And definitely not at school, where her best friend Abby—the coolest, boldest, most talented girl in the world—drags Ellie along on her never-ending quest to “make her mark.” To someone else, a life in the shadows might seem boring, or lonely. But not to Ellie. As long as she has Abby by her side and a comic book in her hand, she’s quite content.\n\nToo bad life didn’t bother checking in with Ellie. Because when a freak earthquake hits her small town, Ellie wakes up with fantastical powers that allow her to bring anything back to life with just her touch. And when a video of her using her powers suddenly goes viral, Ellie’s life goes somewhere she never imagined—or wanted: straight into the spotlight.\n\nSurviving middle school is hard enough. Surviving middle school when paparazzi are camped out on your front lawn and an international pop singer wants you to use your powers on live tv and you might be in love with your best friend but she doesn’t know it? Absolutely impossible.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1368085555\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1368085555.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Johnson, Leah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
