The Heart and Mind of Frances Pauley
by April Stevens
I'm probably biased because this book is about a compassionate and smart 4th grader, but I REALLY liked this story. The characters, settings, and situations are all authentic and relatable, and the story made me feel many emotions ranging from sadness to happiness, serious to humorous, empathy to indignation. By the end I was left feeling enriched and uplifted by the book - what more can you ask? 4th grade +
