![]() It Happened on Saturday is an important MG read on such a dangerously under-discussed topic: human trafficking in America. ![]() I hope every middle schooler has the opportunity to read this story. ![]() It Happened on Saturday has the right blend of humor, suspense, and emotion that makes it fun and rewarding to read. Not only does the story delve into a topic that every middle-schooler should read about in this digital era, but it is also an entertaining read as it is so well-written. Julia does not do anything out-of-the-ordinary, but her problem comes from a couple of decisions that most people her age could be susceptible to. What strikes me most about this story is that this can happen to literally anyone. As a result, Julia posts a picture on social media and finds herself in a tough situation. Julia must deal with pressures that 8th-graders can relate to: the desire to build friendships, the wish to impress her peers, and the urge to be independent from protective parents. I had the opportunity to read this book before it was released, and it is a must-read, especially for tweens as they enter the world of social media. ![]()
