"Bertie Stewart Is Perfectly Imperfect" is a Silver Birch 2025 nominee. This is the story of Bertie who is in grade 6. Bertie is a very relatable character. She navigates home life, friendships, and the little voice in her head. Unfortunately, the little voice in her head has a lot of doubts and negativity making it difficult for Bertie to cope at times. Things become especially difficult for Bertie when her teacher assigns the class a public speaking assignment. This combined with her grandma moving, thinking her stepmother doesn't like her, and problems with her best friend, bring things to a bit of a boiling point. Fortunately, it turns out that Bertie has more people looking out for her than she thought. I highly recommend this book to fans of realistic fiction. You may even learn some techniques for coping with your own stresses.
I am a book loving elementary school teacher librarian. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the books I have read and is intended to be used by students and teachers who are looking for a book recommendation.
