By Ann Braden
Seventh grader Zoey has a lot on her
plate. She is constantly taking care of her younger siblings, being bullied or
ignored at school, and worrying about things like the power being turned off or
not having enough food to eat. This novel, set in Vermont, describes the reality
of living in poverty, being both kid and
care-giver, and the ups and downs of being a middle school girl. The Benefits of Being an Octopus
blends both politics and economics in a story about finding your own voice.
