Bertie Stewart Is Perfectly Imperfect By: Melanie Mosher

Genre: Realistic Fiction
Age Recommendation: Grade 4+

"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.
