Description
Struggling with ADHD, loneliness, and connecting with his divorced father who would rather see him embrace sports instead of cooking, sixth-grader Elliott finds an unlikely friend in popular, perfect Maribel when the two are paired up in a school-wide contest.
Description
This book explores boyhood in a funny, big-hearted story about a kid trying to find the best way to be his best self. Elliott isn't sure where he fits in. Ever since his best friend moved away and his dad and stepmom announced the arrival of their new baby, he's been feeling invisible. Plus his dad just doesn't seem to understand what having ADHD really feels like, or why cooking is the one activity where Elliott's mind clicks into place. When he's paired with the super smart and popular Maribel for a school project, Elliott worries she'll be just another person who underestimates him. But Maribel is also looking for a new way to show others her true self - and this project could be the chance they've both been waiting for. Sometimes the least likely friends help you see a new side to things ... and sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you figure out what's right. --,Adapted from description on publisher's website.,https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/honestly-elliott-9781547606269/
