Description - Bright by Brigit Young
Marianne Blume knows she's one of the stupid kids. After years of trying and trying and feeling like she's always failing, she has mastered the art of turning off her brain whenever questions or lectures arise. She gets by in school on a combination of luck, deflection, and charisma-that is, until she lands in the classroom of Mr. Garcia.
To avoid flunking Mr. Garcia's class, Marianne joins her school's Quiz Quest team, hoping the move will ingratiate her to him, the team's coach. Can Marianne learn to be smart if she puts her mind to it? And what does it really mean to be 'bright,' anyway?
Bright is a readable and empowering story about bucking labels, overcoming preconceptions, and learning to find-and uphold-your own self-worth.
