Bookseller recommendation

“Hazel Hill is the hero every young girl deserves. She's whip-smart, stubborn, and is not afraid to stand up for what is right. This is the perfect book for everyone - young and old - who needs inspiration to stand up to the bullies.”
— Kimi • Buttonwood Books and Toys

Bookseller recommendation

“Hazel, Ella, and Riley are determined to smash the patriarchy, but it's not easy to open up about sexual harassment, especially as a girl. You will cheer, gasp, and shake your fist at the things these characters have to go through to stand up for what's right. Hazel Hill is a heroine we need more of in middle grade! ”
— Ri • House of Books

Summary
About the author

A “must-read for tweens and their parents"" (SLJ, starred review), this funny, feminist, and queer contemporary middle grade debut follows 12-year-old loner Hazel Hill, who after one of her classmates is harassed online, devises a plan to catch the school's golden boy in the act.

Seventh grader Hazel Hill is too busy for friends. No, really. She needs to focus on winning the school-wide speech competition and beating her nemesis, the popular and smart Ella Quinn, after last year’s embarrassing hyperbole/hyperbowl mishap that cost her first place.

But when Hazel discovers Ella is being harassed by golden boy Tyler Harris, she has to choose between winning and doing the right thing. No one would believe that a nice boy like Tyler would harass and intimidate a nice girl like Ella, but Hazel knows the truth—and she’s determined to prove it, even if it means risking everything.

Deeply relatable and surprisingly humorous, Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One is a wonderfully empowering story about friendship, finding your voice, and standing up for what you believe in.
