"My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters" by Sydney Salter follows the story of 13-year-old Jena, who navigates the challenges of adolescence, family dynamics, and self-acceptance. Struggling with insecurities about her appearance, particularly her prominent nose, Jena faces both humorous and poignant moments as she deals with the ups and downs of middle school friendships, crushes, and her parents' divorce. Through a summer spent working at a local amusement park and the support of her quirky friends, Jena learns to embrace her uniqueness and discovers that true beauty comes from within, setting the stage for her personal growth and resilience.
