The Great Upending aims high, but is a Mcguffin too far

Whenever a middle grade book is published that might be a bit melodramatic or have a character who’s dealing with an illness or physical  condition it’s compared to Wonder. I really need to read that book. We read one recently that was compared to that and found it quite uplifting. The Great Upending has been compared to that book and there are certainly lots of story threads in the book to make it an interesting read. We’re not going to list any spoilers about the book, it’s better for readers if they know fewer details about that.

Middle grade melodrama, with a dash of realism
