"With her trademark kid-oriented wit and lighthearted touch,
Keating leads readers through the daily emotional ups and downs of
the typical just-turned-teenager who is trying to juggle hormones,
parents, schoolwork, and, most importantly, her friends...A sweet
reminder that being middle school girl is about far more than boys
and makeup. -Kirkus, starred review " - Kirkus Reviews
"Keating has crafted another engaging work that will speak to
readers anxious about navigating social situations-and the fun
animal factoids interspersed add to the fun," - School Library
Journal
"A pleasing story about the trials of friendship, first boyfriends,
and what it means to truly start growing up." - Booklist
