As she enters sixth grade, Shannon is feeling pretty good about things.
She’s sharing a locker with Jen, the most popular girl in school, so
she’s definitely part of the in-crowd. Things can get confusing, though:
the imaginative games she used to love aren’t cool any more, sometimes
the popular kids are mean, which she knows is wrong, and then there are
boys... and the rules for interacting with them seem to have changed.
Sometimes all of these things make her so nervous that her stomach
hurts. Plus, next year she will be in middle school. Will all of the
rules change again?
This is Hale’s second graphic memoir, and
while I’d definitely recommend it to readers who enjoyed the first one, I
think it stands well on its own. I really enjoyed it, and I’m sure that
the intended audience will love it even more.
