Dear Isaac Newton, You're Ruining My Life (Used Signed Hardcover) - Rachel Hruza

As if seventh grade isn't hard enough, Truth Trendon learns that she has to wear a back brace to help her worsening scoliosis. It's hard plastic, tight, and uncomfortable. Truth has to wear a t-shirt under it and bulky clothes over it, making her feel both sweaty and unfashionable. She's terrified that her classmates are going to find out about it.
But it's hard keeping it a secret (especially when gym class is involved), and secrets quickly turn into lies. And when Truth's crush entrusts her with a big secret of his own, it leads to even more lying. Add to that a fight with her best friend, a looming school-wide presentation, and mean rumors, and it's a recipe for disaster.
Ultimately, Truth begins to accept her true self, curvy spine and all, as she figures out the best way to navigate the overwhelming time of life that is middle school.
Debut author Rachel Hruza brings humor and heart to this upper middle grade story about friendship, crushes, and the importance of being yourself.
