Izzy’s Dilemma is a thought-provoking middle-grade book that makes you think about whether you would change features about yourself, such as race, so that you can benefit from the privileges others have. This book is perfect for fans of dystopian books, such as Divergent, or books that connect with how people are treated differently due to things that they can’t control, such as race and, in this case, eye color.

In this modern-day fairytale, Greta struggles to make her mark until she succumbs to the mischief of an enchanted doll.
Greta Starr has one dream: to be a famous reporter. Unfortunately she’s been assigned to write for the paper’s most boring beat, and she feels stuck. Then, on her twelfth birthday, Greta receives a mysterious cuckoo clock with a wooden dancer named Lulu inside. Every hour, the doll twirls in time with the music—until one night she comes to life. Lulu is infused with magic and mischief. With Lulu’s sly encouragement, Greta engineers a feel-good story to report, setting in motion a series of remarkable, if deceitful, happy endings at school that help Greta gain popularity. But when the truth threatens Greta’s friendships, she is confronted with very real consequences that Lulu’s magic can’t fix.
This coming-of-age story explores the blurred line between fact and fiction as Greta realizes the key to being a great reporter—and a great friend—is striving for truth, not perfection.
