Review
Jillian promised her grandmother she would try to be a little less shy. When the perfect opportunity arises at school Jillian decides to do her absolute very best to come out of her shell and show everyone how smart she really is.
This book is one of the sweetest middle grade books I've read. The story just warms you from the inside out. What I really liked about this book is the issues the characters face (and no I'm not just talking about being shy) are addressed in a way that is suitable for the middle grade child while still being enjoyable and relatable for a slightly older audience. With an adorable cast and heartwarming relationships Just Right Jillian belongs on every middle graders bookshelf.
