Some people get to have crushes on boys. Some people have other things they've got to do.
Seventh-grader Zoey has her hands full as she takes care of her much younger siblings after school every day while her mom works her shift at the pizza parlor. Not that her mom seems to appreciate it. At least there's Lenny, her mom's boyfriend--they all get to live in his nice, clean trailer.
At school, Zoey tries to stay under the radar. Her only friend Fuchsia has her own issues, and since they're in an entirely different world than the rich kids, it's best if no one notices them.
Zoey thinks how much easier everything would be if she were an octopus: eight arms to do eight things at once. Incredible camouflage ability and steady, unblinking vision. Powerful protective defenses.
Unfortunately, she's not totally invisible, and one of her teachers forces her to join the debate club. Even though Zoey resists participating, debate ultimately leads her to see things in a new way: her mom's relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia's situation, and her own place in this town of people who think they're better than her. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, even if it means risking the most stable home she's ever had?
This moving debut novel explores the cultural divides around class and the gun debate through the eyes of one girl, living on the edges of society, trying to find her way forward.
Braden, Ann

Great value and works well
Color: 7-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
I wasn’t sure this would compare to the name brand one I’ve had for years but it finally died and I needed a replacement. The Circle Joy amazed me with how easily it removes corks, ejects the cork and vacuum seals the bottle when you’re done. Some reviews mentioned they were concerned with durability but it’s still working great and no signs of wear after two months of regular use.

Great value and does the job admirably.
Color: 7-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
I have been using this for several months now. Still haven't needed a charge. Love the little knife to remove cover from cork. Love the decanting attachment. Removes cork easily without much noise and then spits it out. Excellent value. Highly recommend.

Game Changer for Wine Lovers
Color: 8-in-1 Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Circle Joy Electric Wine Bottle Opener and I’m honestly really impressed.
Setup was super simple, and it works exactly as advertised—just place it on the bottle, press a button, and the cork comes out smoothly in seconds. No struggling, no broken corks, and no mess. It makes opening wine feel effortless and a lot more enjoyable.
I also love the sleek design—it looks modern and feels sturdy, not cheap. If you have the set with accessories, the extras like the foil cutter and pourer are a nice bonus and actually useful.
Overall, this is a great little gadget, especially if you open wine often or just want something convenient and easy to use. Definitely a solid buy or even a nice gift idea.

Best cork remover!
Color: 7-in-1 Silver, Size: Rechargeable
I love this wine bottle opener. With just a zip, the cork is out! No struggling, no breaking of the cork. Perfect. I’ve bought several for gifts.
