Calli Gold is the youngest child in a family of over-achievers. Her older siblings are involved in sports, whereas she has tried everything, from tennis to origami, to fit the family's motto, " Be Gold!", but fails every time. But when paired with a new kid named Noah for the school's peer program, she soon learns that even being ordinary has much to offer.
This is a very good read for middle schoolers, particularly with a very likable character. I also like that it teaches an important message that being true to one's self is an achievement in itself.
