This book is a delightfully queer middle grade novel about a relatable and sweet feminine protagonist, with some neurodivergent qualities. I will handsell this, and particularly recommend it for classrooms.

Due to redistricting, Hazel is starting a new school while her best friend Becca is staying at the old one.

Also, Hazel's mother, Mimi, is pregnant for the third time. The first two babies didn't come to term so Hazel is worried about Mimi's health and what will happen if the same thing occurs.

Hazel's Theory of Evolution is a very readable book discussing friendship, sexual orientation, pregnancy, self confidence, self discovery.

children's middlegrade fiction (divorce, friendship competing with boys, music summer camp in Michigan/lake country, incidental LGBTQA interest) - grades 5th-7th
I loved spending time with Melly, and watching her find her voice rather than just banging out her feelings on the drums--she longs to speak up for herself (inventing a new nickname, Lissa, instead of one that rhymes with belly and jelly) but has trouble telling her best friend and her parents how she feels. She's very relatable and real-feeling, and yes, I did have to cry at the end.
The crush she develops on another girl at camp is incidental--not a huge part of the story, but one of the things she eventually talks about. They don't do much other than hold hands and kiss a couple times, and at this age Melly isn't sure how she wants to label herself yet, but she does know that she is attracted to Adeline. There is also a great conversation on asking consent before kissing someone, so bonus points for that.
