β¦ Synopsis
You Go First is an engaging exploration of family, bullying, spelling, art, and the ever-complicated world of middle school friendships.
Twelve-year-old Charlotte Lockard and 11-year-old Ben Boxer are separated by more than a thousand miles. On the surface, their lives seem vastly different - Charlotte lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while Ben is in the small town of Lanester, Louisiana. Charlotte wants to be a geologist and keeps a rock collection in her room. Ben is obsessed with Harry Potter, presidential history, and recycling. But the two have more in common than they think. They're both highly gifted. They're both experiencing family turmoil. And they both sit alone at lunch.
Over the course of a week, Charlotte and Benβonline friends connected only by a Scrabble gameβwill intersect in unexpected ways, as they struggle to navigate the turmoil of middle school.
This engaging story about growing up and finding your place in the world by the Newbery Medalβwinning author of Hello, Universe will appeal to fans of Rebecca Stead and Rita Williams-Garcia.
