## Description

A heartfelt novel about a neurodivergent girl that challenges us to reexamine what makes someone " gifted," perfect for fans of Fish in a Tree and Frindle. Ruby Emmerson has always felt like the " dumb" twin. Struggling with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, she feels out of place at her competitive charter school, especially as her twin brother Bryce excels both academically and socially. When she fails a math test despite getting extra help, she fears she'll flunk out of Benton Academy and drag her brother back to their old school. In a moment of frustration, Ruby vents anonymously online, describing herself as an imposter-a mango among lovebirds. But to her surprise, she's far from alone. As her account gains a following, tensions rise with her brother and her posts draw the unwanted attention of the school administration. Now, Ruby must find the courage to challenge Benton's high-pressure environment and advocate for herself and all the other " Mangoes" out there.
