She was average. Unremarkable. Always looking for an escape from her house, where her bickering parents fawned over her genius big brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside our broken home \/ we didn’t know how broken \/ the world outside was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut after the storm, Quinn can’t seem to go back to average. Her friends weren't affected by the tornado in the same way. To them, the storm left behind a playground of abandoned houses and distracted adults. As Quinn struggles to find stability in the tornado’s aftermath, she must choose: between homes, friendships, and versions of herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing that was mine \/ yesterday is mine today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold in rich, spectacular verse, Caroline Brooks DuBois crafts a powerful story of redemption as Quinn makes her way from Before to After. There’s nothing average about the world Quinn wakes up to after the storm; maybe there’s nothing average about her, either. This emotional coming-of-age journey for middle grade readers proves that it’s never too late to be the person you want to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMissouri Truman Reader Award List\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49434488832240,"sku":"9780823451562","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9780823451562.jpg?v=1774382649","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/ode-to-a-nobody-by-caroline-brooks-dubois","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
