After years of home schooling brought on by a traumatic first-grade experience involving over-indulgent parents, underimaginative classmates, and a homemade hobbit suit, 15-year-old Alice has decided to go to high school. She's not actually ready or anything, but her counselor could use a boost in his self-esteem. And attending a real school is not the only life goal Alice is determined to achieve. In a debut as hilarious as Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging, Susan Juby has created a unique and unforgettable voice.
