"Eleven-year-old Avery Lee loves living in Hickory Valley, Maryland. She loves her neighborhood, school, and the end-of-summer fair she always goes to with her two best friends. But she's tired of feeling squished by her six siblings! They're noisy and chaotic and the younger kids love her a little too much. All Avery wants is her own room -- her own space to be alone and make art. So she's furious when Theo, her grumpy older brother, gets his own room instead, and her wild baby brother, Max, moves into the room she already shares with her clinging sister Pearl!"--Page [4] of cover.

Sweet middle grade graphic novel submitted by lauracmcinnis on July 13, 2023, 1:17pm Perfect for kids headed to middle school or anyone who has ever felt “squished” in life!

Bittersweet Ending with Carefully Thought-Out Characters submitted by ksullivan on August 6, 2023, 8:07am I picked up squished when at my friend's house and, having already read Megan Wagner-Lloyd's "Allergic" graphic novel, I was hooked. Avery, searching for money to build her own bedroom in the basement, starts a chaotic dog-walking business, (tries to) sells lemonade, and brainstorming with her best friends. But even they begin to drift apart when Avery finds out she might move to...Oregon! Avery is a strong-willed girl, however, and she'll do anything she can to stop that from happening--even if it means crashing into a gum ball machine, having fights over brunch, and standing up to her older brother Theo's bullies. Love this book.

Great subject submitted by Kathleen Stroud on August 27, 2023, 9:26am A beautiful story of how large families can be beautiful but also hard and frustrating.
