Fish in a Tree book trailer

"When Mr. Daniels calls me up to his desk, he's holding my paper. A teacher holding my paper is rarely a good thing. But Mr. Daniels doesn't cover my papers with red ink like other teachers. They used to look like they were bleeding.
Mr. Daniels has written in green and he apologizes for not being able to read my writing. He says that my character sounds really interesting, but he'd like to know a bit more. 'Will you read this out loud to me?'
Uh-oh. I take it, squeezing my eyes into slits. Trying to read my own writing. I wait for him to pressure me to try harder. To do something I can't do.
He slides the paper out of my hand. 'Well,' he says, 'why don't you just tell me instead of reading? First of all, tell me your person's name.'
I feel such relief that I'm afraid to blink. I hate this pressure. But this time I've been saved. I keep my voice down so no one can hear. 'It's Roy G. Biv.'
'Oh, wait,' he says. 'Like the colors of the color spectrum?'
I nod.
He stares. Before he can tell me I've messed up the directions, I say, 'You said fictional, and I figured you meant a book character like Alice from Alice in Wonderland, but Roy isn't real and there isn't any other character that means as much to me him. I love the colors and I use them in my art and art is about the only thing...' I stop before I confess to feeling like a failure at everything else.
'That's clever, Ally,' she tells me. 'I actually like that you chose someone who isn't a book character, exactly. You think out of the box.'
I see a mind movie of me standing outside a huge glass box. Everyone else is inside it. Together.
'Do you know what it means to think out of the box?' he asks.
I shake my head.
'It means that you are a creative thinker. You think differently than other people.'
Great. Just once, I want to be told I'm like everyone else.
'It's a good thing to be an out-of-the-box thinker. People like that are world-changers.'
Wait. His face doesn't look like this is a bad thing. 'Is that like setting the world on fire?' I ask, smiling a bit.
'Exactly that.' He nods.
Then he stares at me long enough for me to wonder what he's thinking before sending me back to my seat."

I binge read this last night and it’s one of my favorite books

[@mirandabrokenberry810]

A few years ago, Our oldest daughter made me fall in love with this book simply by hearing her speak of it. So I read it & like a baby, there were moments when I cried, moments when I laughed, & moments when I became angry at just how cruel this world can be. I shared my review of the book with our youngest daughter, she was so intrigued that we read it together & she fell in love with it. I can’t wait to see the movie 😍
