\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>

Twelve-year-old Maggie lives in a house too small for all the big problems plaguing a shy girl just trying to survive adolescence armed with Little Debbies and deep thoughts.\u00a0 <\/span>When her father\u2019s legs permanently fall asleep, she\u2019s forced out of her shell and into a relationship with her family that she never expected.\u00a0 <\/span>And just like that, wearing a training bra doesn\u2019t seem like such a huge deal.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n\n

BOOKPAGE<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe Meaning of Maggie does for middle-grade fiction what John Green\u2019s The Fault in Our Stars did for teen literature: Both portray coping with serious illness as one aspect of a complex character, not as the single issue that defines them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \n \n
