The Kate in Between
Autor Claire Swinarskien Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mai 2021 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Kate McAllister is desperate for a change. Something to hit refresh and erase the pain of her mother leaving town without her. So when a group of popular girls folds Kate into their clique, it feels like the answer to all her problems—even if it means ditching Haddie, her childhood bestie.
But when Kate’s new friends decide that Haddie is their next target, Kate becomes a passive participant in a cruel incident that could have killed Haddie…had Kate not stepped in, at the last minute, and saved her. The next day, a cell phone video of the rescue goes viral, and Kate is hailed a hero. But Kate knows the truth—she was part of the problem—and it’s only a matter of time until the full version of the video is released and everyone knows it too.
With so much at stake, Kate must decide who she wants to be: a liar, a follower, or someone greater.
- Moral Dilemma: A viral video calls her a hero for saving her best friend, Haddie. But Kate knows the truth: she was part of the bullying that put Haddie in danger.
- Family Issues: While navigating seventh grade, Kate is also dealing with the pain of her mother leaving town to chase a dream, forcing her to move in with her dad.
- Coming of Age: With her reputation on the line, Kate has to look inward and decide who she really is when nobody—or everybody—is watching.
- Complex Friendships: To fit in with the popular girls, Kate ditches her childhood bestie. Now, that choice has consequences that could change everything.

Recenzii
"An engaging and inspiring novel about standing up for what's right, being your authentic self, and finding the strength to use your voice." — Lynne Kelly, author of Song For a Whale
"This messy middle-school drama shines a light on what it means to develop identity. Illuminating." — Kirkus Reviews
The Kate In Between is a perfect portrayal of the middle school struggle to fit in and find one's true self. Kate's voice had me hooked from the first page. Outstanding! — Lisa Greenwald, author of the Friendship List series
Well written and on point, Swinarski’s middle-grade take on the mean-girls novel will resonate with readers looking for a realistic story that doesn’t gloss over choices or consequences, giving them complex ideas to contemplate. — Booklist
"Swinarski adeptly presents multiple, and at times conflicting, sides of Kate in her struggle to figure out who she is and who she wants to be. With a well-developed protagonist, this book tackles bullying, friendship, parental roles, social media and social justice." — School Library Journal
