520    Some people can do their homework. Some people get to have
       crushes on boys. Some people have other things they've got
       to do. Seventh-grader Zoey has her hands full as she takes
       care of her much younger siblings after school every day 
       while her mom works her shift at the pizza parlor. Not 
       that her mom seems to appreciate it. At least there's 
       Lenny, her mom's boyfriend-they all get to live in his 
       nice, clean trailer. At school, Zoey tries to stay under 
       the radar. Her only friend Fuchsia has her own issues, and
       since they're in an entirely different world than the rich
       kids, it's best if no one notices them. Zoey thinks how 
       much easier everything would be if she were an octopus: 
       eight arms to do eight things at once. Incredible 
       camouflage ability and steady, unblinking vision. Powerful
       protective defenses. Unfortunately, she's not totally 
       invisible, and one of her teachers forces her to join the 
       debate club. Even though Zoey resists participating, 
       debate ultimately leads her to see things in a new way: 
       her mom's relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia's situation, 
       and her own place in this town of people who think they're
       better than her. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, 
       even if it means risking the most stable home she's ever 
       had? This moving debut novel explores the cultural divides
       around class and the gun debate through the eyes of one 
       girl, living on the edges of society, trying to find her 
       way forward.
