Seventh-grade budding writer Autumn's older brother Hunter reads her love poem to her crush's brother, and to top it off, The New Yorker rejects her best work. Mills creates a warm, convincing portrait of an apprentice author in this bubbly family-and-friends story, which deepens as Autumn encounters a moral dilemma that involves her hunger for publication conflicting with loyalty to Hunter.
