This was such a fun book! I am thrilled to see periods being normalized for this generation. 

Gracie and Helen are the best - I loved their friendship and how these two absolute chaos monsters used their chaos for the good of all. When their principal tells them that in a last-ditch effort to get them to behave, she is making them join a club or sport, they get involved in the Community Action Club, expecting it to be something they can coast through. Instead, they get swept up in a period equity campaign that leads them down a path they never expected - they care about something and want to make a difference!

I especially loved seeing the male characters step up and support the campaign. We need more of that! There is some tween romance, but the girls in this story have so much confidence that they build those relationships on their terms. I wish I'd had this book when I was a young teen!

This is a perfect bridge book between middle-grade and YA. I think it should be required reading for everyone!
