Eleven-year-old Avery Lee adores her hometown of Hickory Valley, Maryland, and loves her school and the end-of-summer fair she frequents with her two best friends. However, living with six siblings and a preoccupied mom makes it hard to feel like she has her own space. After her older brother Theo is given a private room and her little brother Max moves into her already shared bedroom, Avery is desperate for a room of her own. So she comes up with a plan to get Max to sleep, defensive of her friendships, and make an art entry for the fair - all while her family might be moving across the country. Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter bring laughter and emotion to this delightful story of family, friendship, and growing up in Squished.
