But when shes bumped from seventh grade directly to high school, she gets a dramatic jolt to reality. Tara isnt ready to watch the racy shows the high school kids like, or to listen to the angsty music, or to stop playing make-believe with her younger brother. Shes not ready to change for PE in front of everyone, or for the chaos of the hallways, or for the anarchy of an English class thats overrun with fourteen-year-old boys. But then theres Libby. Tara doesnt know whether shes ready for Libby. She cant even explain who Libby is to her because she doesnt know yet. She just knows that everythings more fun when she and her new classmate are together. But what will happen next? How will it all end? “Imaginative and hysterical, and with the sort of rare, clear-seeing honesty that will make any reader feel less alone in the world.
