"Willodeen" by Katherine Applegate is a middle grade story, but any story that carries the power to bring positive change in society is for everyone—not just for kids. And so is Willodeen. It's a story that shows a deep connection and love for animals that are often disliked by others, especially the screechers. But the main protagonist, Willodeen, sees their worth. In the end, she helps others realize the importance of every creature in maintaining the balance of nature.
