Different
"At the same time, we held back. Because she was different. Different. We had no one to compare her to, no one to measure her against. She was unknown territory. Unsafe. We were afraid to get too close." (pg. 26)
Cinnamon
"It was her pet rat. It rode to school in the bag every day." (pg. 11)
Ukulele girl
"She started strumming the uke. And singing. It was 'Happy Birthday.'"(pg. 9)
Cheerleader
"She roamed. Areas that had always been ignored - the far ends of the grandstand, the spectators behind the goalposts, the snack bar parents - found themselves with their own arm-pumping cheerleader."(pg. 36)
"I pledge allegiance to United Turtles of America and to the fruit bats of Borneo, one planet in the Milky Way, incredible, with justice and black bean burritos for all."(pg. 44)
