When middle grade fiction is set in a school, readers relate to the environment and are more comfortable exploring the complexities of growing up. 

These stories often provide characters that go through transformations in order to find their place and come into their own. This sometimes includes navigating friendships, facing bullies, and awkwardly coming of age. These particular books focus on the inequity characters overcome as they embrace their values. They will empower readers to find their own voice too.
