Booklist - 06/01/2024 Once Tate heard Eli Violet practicing viola, there was a yearning inside them to follow the music. Tate's decision to pick up the viola midyear bewilders their family but is the start of an adventure of self-discovery. When Tate’s parents suggest that they attend Camp Prodigy for the summer, Tate is overcome with excitement and nerves. What if they can’t keep up with all of the talented string players? What if they can’t make any friends? They’ve never been very good at opening up to people. As Tate's world transforms amidst humor and charm, illustrated with vivid caricatures, Eli's unwavering acceptance becomes a guiding light through the complexities of middle school uncertainty and queer identity. Through thoughtful character development and a vibrant palette, Palmer crafts a narrative that resonates with the struggles and triumphs of finding oneself. This is a testament to embracing one's true self, reminding readers that acceptance knows no bounds. Relatable themes and captivating storytelling invite readers to join Tate and their friends on a journey of authenticity and belonging. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
