Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Fun, funny, and fully heartfelt. Everyone needs true-blue friends like Lizbeth's. SuperChicken for life.--Kristin L. Gray, author of The Amelia Six and Vilonia Beebe Takes ChargeOne of those books that explores difficult topics--divorce, a new school, being dubbed a "weirdo"--with grace and good humor.--Rebecca Petruck, author of Boy Bites Bug and Steering Toward NormalThis hilarious and heartfelt gem is moving straight to my "favorites" shelf.--Lisa Lewis Tyre, author of Last in a Long Line of Rebels and Hope in the HollerTwelve-year-old Lizbeth always has a plan, and those plans have usually worked--until now. No matter what she tries, she can't get rid of her dad's new girlfriend, Claire. And when she and her mom move, Lizbeth has to join a sixth-grade class already in progress, where her teacher makes her wear a name tag and she's seated with three notorious "weirdos." When faced with mandatory participation in a school talent show, Lizbeth and the Weirdos decide to create self portraits. Reluctantly, Lizbeth finds herself becoming friends with people she thought she had nothing in common with--and coming to terms with the things she can't control.
