Description
To Eva's horror she finds herself holidaying in the countryside, and even worse the girl next door doesn't care about being cool. But Eva is about to learn there's more to life than having the right hair and that 'weird' girls can be good friends
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who cares way too much about being cool and fitting in, Eva's Holiday is going to hit home. Eva gets shipped off to the countryside for vacation (her worst nightmare) and immediately decides the weird girl next door is not someone she wants anything to do with but of course that's exactly who ends up teaching her that having good hair isn't actually the most important thing in life. The story has this funny, relatable way of showing how exhausting it is to try to be something you're not, and by the end you'll definitely be rooting for Eva to figure that out. It's perfect for kids in grades 4-8 who enjoy a mix of humor and heart, especially those who might be navigating friendship drama or feeling pressure to fit in. Parents will appreciate that it's a light, fun read but still tackles real issues like judging people based on appearances and learning what real friendship looks like. Fans of books like "Wonder" or "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" will likely connect with this one too.
