The School for Whatnots

The idea of a school that celebrates oddities is so fun and imaginative. I wonder if the author based it on any real-life experiences or just pure fantasy.

I loved how each kid's unique trait was celebrated, but I also wondered if that reflects real middle-grade struggles with acceptance and self-discovery.

The lighthearted tone kept me smiling, but there were also touching scenes that made me think. I'm curious about how the tone was crafted during writing.
