This is truly a delightful book written by our youngest author, 13-year old Reyna Hurand, of Flint, Michigan. It's her second story published, and this young author captures the very essence of being a teenager facing Middle School for the first time. You don't have to be in that difficult age that we all go through to understand the heroine's fears and concerns when she enters Middle School for the first time.
Will she be able to become part of the "in" crowd? Will other girls - and boys, of course! - like her? What about her teachers? Can she handle all those classes with different instructors and keep her sanity? Reyna writes using the language of today's girls and boys of that age - sometimes a foreign language to adults - and she does it with humor and great knowledge of that generation that just entered their teen years.
Follow the school year with Isabel - "Is" for short - and walk with her the crowded halls of the Middle School. A book for kids 12 to 16... or older, why not?
Reyna Hurand shows great talent at 13, and we look forward to her next story and the next and the next...
