I loved this Great Stone Face book from this past year. A 12-yr-old girl named Willow is the main character. She does not fit in at school. She is a genius and very unique with her interests and style. When her parents die suddenly, a group of (almost) strangers rally around her to help her find her way. The theme is mature, but for mature 5th graders, I would recommend it highly. It is a touching, feel-good story about being different and realizing it is the only way to be.
