"I <3 this book! Smart, sweet, and hilarious."-Leslie Margolis, author of Girl's Best Friend
“This lightweight, fun romp points out that big changes (some of them unfortunate) can come from small choices thoughtlessly made, and that being yourself with your equally uncool best friend is a lot better than being popular all by yourself. Also revealed: dorky seventh grade boys can actually grow up to be date-worthy! . . . Hand to readers looking for
best-friend stories with a hint of romance.” —
School Library Journal “Plenty of
funny moments . . . a fresh take on the age-old theme of being careful what you wish for.” —
Publishers Weekly “Reminiscent of
13 Going on 30 . . . readers will be satisfied.” —
Kirkus Reviews “A perfectly brilliant book for middle school!” —
Ms. Yingling Reads “Hilariously funny while still being sentimental and warm.” —
