This is a funny, emotional book that will quickly become a favorite to many a reader, regardless of age. Most impressively, the author doesn't shortchange any of these explorations, nor does she turn the book into a sermon. “This is a completely thought-out world, and the author uses it to explore class issues, family dynamics, gender roles, and preteen friendship.

As a journalist she’s written about everything from wedding planning to the banking crisis to how to build your own homemade camera satellite.
