In this funny, feel-good follow-up to Mixed Feelings, Sara struggles to find her place because she's constantly caught between TWO spaces: childhood and adulthood, drama club and volleyball, friends and a crush. Perfect for fans of The Tryout, The New Girl: First Crush, and Pizza Face.
Getting thrown for a loop!
What is the best part of seventh grade?
A: The cutest boy in school messages you on AIM.
B: You've made the volleyball team and nailed your drama club audition.
C: Your parents recognize how responsible you are and treat you like an adult.
D: SIKE! None of this turns out the way you expect it to!
Seventh grade started out strong, but now Sara is struggling... Because of her volleyball schedule, she may not be cast in the play. And due to her commitment to drama club, she could be benched during the big game. To make matters worse, her crush only seems to talk to her when he needs help in math class. And to top it off, her parents pick and choose when to treat her like a kid or a grown-up.
Sara's finding herself caught in a strange in-between space. Is she an actress or an athlete? A crush or a calculator? An adolescent or an adult? With so many mixed signals, will Sara ever be able to find her place?
In this feel-good follow-up to Mixed Feelings, being a teenage girl has never been so hilarious and harrowing at the same time!
