Description

A funny, readable story of how a girl and a boy find their true selves in the social maze of seventh grade.

Alice likes playing soccer and working on her go-kart with her dad. Her bedroom is decorated with a baseball theme. But when she moves to the suburbs, she learns from the boy down the street that she has no hope of fitting in at her new middle school unless she starts acting more "like a girl." Zen seems kind of weird himself how many boys read fashion magazines and dream of someday owning a spa Alice learns that fitting in and being herself are two very different things until she tries to fit in with people who like her for who she really is.
