The Thing About Leftovers

With theÂ humor andÂ poignancy of Joan Bauer and Lynda Mullaly Hunt, this story reminds readers that they have a right to a voice, that it's okay to say how you feel, and that some leftovers are absolutely delicious!
Â
Fizzy is a good Southern girl who just wants to be perfect.Â And win the Southern Living cook-off. The being perfect part is hard though, since her parentsâ€™ divorced and everything in her life has changed. Wary of her too-perfect stepmom and her momâ€™s neat-freak, dismissive boyfriend, sheâ€™s often angry or upset and feels like a guest in both homes. She tells herself to face facts: Sheâ€™s a â€œleftoverâ€ kid from a marriage that her parents want to forget. But she has to keep all of that to herself, because a good Southern girl never yells, or throws fits, or says anything that might hurt other peopleâ€™s feelingsâ€”instead she throws her shoulders back, says yes maâ€™am, and tries to do better. So Fizzy tries her best, but itâ€™s hard to stay quiet when her family keeps getting more complicated. Fortunately, the Southern Living cook-off gives her a welcome distraction, as do her new friends Miyoko and Zach, who have parent issues of their own.
