Dd has an assignment to do in school

on the struggles the character in Bloomability faced & how she coped & overcame those struggles. The teacher gave it back to her & told her it wasn't good enough & she isn't allowed to bring it home so I've been trying to help her here at home. Not coming up w/the stuggle about school in Switzerland because we both see it as all positive. has anyones kid read this book & can give some insight into the struggle the character had starting a new school?

Here's all I could find ...
When her aunt and uncle take her from New Mexico to Lugano, Switzerland, to attend an international school, thirteen-year-old Dinnie discovers and expanding world and her place in it.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate all your typing & work. Sometimes something can be right in front of you & you just can't see it. I was like that w/Bloomability. I think I was just too upset & knowing she started this book in december & had only gotten to Chapter 4 by Feb vacation & the kids had to read it all & now she expected all this insight w/out class discussion kind of made me angry & blanked me out on the subject.
Since September this is only the 2nd. book these kids have read. Just doesn't seem like they're getting what 5th graders should be getting. I just realized today state

Thank You, the character is Dinnie & I totally missed her feelings on her uncle being the headmaster. Dd did also. Not having class discussions & going so slow at first then having the kids read it over Feb vacation just isn't right. Who expects a kid to start reading a book in
