"Stand Tall" by Joan Bauer follows the story of a determined young woman named Tree, who faces the challenges of adolescence with resilience and courage. After moving to a new town, Tree grapples with her height and the feelings of awkwardness that come with it. As she navigates friendships, her budding interest in basketball, and the pressures of fitting in, she learns valuable lessons about self-acceptance and the importance of standing up for oneself. With humor and heart, the story emphasizes the significance of embracing one's uniqueness and the power of believing in oneself, no matter the circumstances.
