A serious, emotionally grounded middle-grade novel set inside an urban middle school—where identity, pressure, ambition, and belonging collide.

Echoes of Greatness follows a constellation of students navigating peer conflict, cultural expectations, academic pressure, and moments of quiet courage. Written for Grades 7–8 and intentionally accessible to Grades 4–6 readers with scaffolding, this novel invites students to read deeply, think critically, and reflect honestly—without diluting voice or complexity.
