Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World
Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World by Ashley Herring Blake is a middle-grade novel about a girl who loses her home in a tornado and grapples with confusing feelings for another girl in the aftermath. As Ivy draws pictures of girls holding hands and her sketchbook goes missing, anonymous notes appear in her locker, forcing her to confront her feelings and fears. Families and educators value its tender handling of grief, displacement, and queer identity. It’s best for readers in grades 4–8 and works beautifully as a read-aloud or book club pick. Adult support helps kids process the emotional weight and talk about empathy, privacy, and allyship.
