A middle-grade novel full of growth, friendship, adventure, and learning. Friendships can be complicated and sometimes messy. Sass does a great job exploring the ebbs and flows of this complications and resolutions in Ellen Outside the Lines. It was great to see such a dynamic cast of characters, as well. Each growing and learning more about themselves through their trip to Spain.
