I hadn't even gotten to homeroom yet and I'd already discovered five hard truths about junior high:

• 1. My best friend had turned pretty.
• 2. She didn't know it yet.
• 3. It wouldn't be long before she did.
• 4. That knowledge would change everything between us.
• 5. And there wasn't a thing I could do about it.

It's the first day of seventh grade. Is Jessica Darling doomed for dorkdom?

New York Times best-selling author Megan McCafferty's hilarious new novel will have you laughing, cringing, and cheering for Jessica Darling as she learns that being herself beats being popular, pretty & perfect any day.
