A Newbery Honor book and instant New York Times, USA Today, and indie bestseller! Award-winning author and artist Chanel Miller tells a fun, funny, and poignant story of friendship and community starring Magnolia Wu, a ten-year-old sock detective bent on returning all the lonely only socks left behind in her parents' NYC laundromat. Down at the bottom of the tall buildings of New York City, Magnolia Wu sits inside her parents’ laundromat. She has pinned every lost sock from the laundromat onto a bulletin board in hopes that customers will return to retrieve them. But no one seems to have noticed. In fact, barely anyone has noticed Magnolia at all. What she doesn’t know is that this is about to be her most exciting summer yet. When Iris, a new friend from California arrives, they set off across the city to solve the mystery of each missing sock, asking questions in subways and delis and plant stores and pizzerias, meeting people and uncovering the unimaginable. With each new encounter, Magnolia learns that when you’re bold enough to head into the unknown, things start falling into place.

This powerful memoir recounts the journey of a woman who, known as Emily Doe, gave voice to countless survivors through her impactful statement to Brock Turner. After Turner received a mere six-month sentence for sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus, her victim impact statement went viral, garnering eleven million views in just four days. It was translated globally, read in Congress, and spurred significant changes in California law, including the recall of the presiding judge. Many survivors reached out, expressing how her words inspired them to share their own experiences of assault. Reclaiming her identity, she narrates her story of trauma and resilience, highlighting the isolation and shame victims often endure, even in seemingly strong cases with eyewitnesses and physical evidence. Her experiences expose a culture that prioritizes the protection of perpetrators and a criminal justice system that frequently fails the vulnerable. Ultimately, her narrative is one of courage and healing, challenging societal beliefs about sexual assault and transforming our understanding of the issue. This memoir, blending pain, resilience, and humor, promises to be a modern classic that resonates deeply with readers.
