Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa of Wishful Endings. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was created by Jill Breaking the Spine.We've got a middle grade book this week!
Worth a Thousand Words by Brigit YoungRelease date: August 14th, 2019 by Roaring Brook Press

Summary (from goodreads): Whether it’s earrings, homework, or love notes, Tillie “Lost and Found” Green and her camera can find any lost thing—until a search for a missing person forces her to step out from behind the lens.
Ever since a car accident left Tillie Green with lasting painful injuries, she's hidden behind her camera. Through the lenses, she watches her family and classmates, tracking down misplaced items and spotting the small details that tell a much bigger story than the one people usually see. But she isn’t prepared for class clown Jake Hausmann’s request: to find his father. In a matter of days, Tillie goes from silent observer to one half of a detective duo, searching for clues to the mystery of Jake’s dad’s disappearance. When the truth isn’t what Jake wants it to be, and taking photographs starts exposing people’s secrets, Tillie has to decide what—and who—is truly important to her.
Why I'm excited: I think the idea of a middle grade book with a MC with chronic pain sounds really, really interesting, and unique. I also love the mystery angle. All around this sounds like totally my thing.
What are you looking forward to this week?
Peace and cookies,

I think this one is also something that tweens can relate to. How many of us had some bad experiences when we were young or in junior high and tried to hide at least a part of ourselves. Great pick!
