PRAISE FOR 11 BEFORE 12: "Omigosh, I LOVE Lisa Greenwald's new book.

"The voice of a tween dealing with the pressures of adolescence is authentic, and this book will entice those who want to read about a relatable, funny young woman." -- School Library Journal

"Kaylan's first-person voice perfectly captures the horrors of starting at a new school, from the prospect of eating alone in the cafeteria to the awkwardness of meeting a new neighbor boy." -- Kirkus Reviews
