What about Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt? I think this fits your
criteria in an interesting way.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping once again to tap into the collective wisdom of the group. I am
trying to come up with a list of books for our 5th graders in which the main
character undergoes some sort of "transformation." Preferably realistic
fiction/historical fiction, and of course, I'd like to bring in some DE&I.
There's a lot I already read to them around the themes of identity and being
an immigrant or being "multi-ethnic." I like that thread but also would like
some others too.
Thank you in advance!
