About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle schooler is grappling with a sudden shift in social status or feeling insecure about physical changes like getting braces or glasses. It tells the story of Kacey Simon, a former queen bee who is cast out of the popular clique after a series of dental and vision mishaps. As Kacey navigates her new reality at the bottom of the social ladder, she discovers that true friendship and self worth aren't found in a status update or a perfect look. While the tone is humorous and fast paced, it touches on deep themes of loyalty and identity. It is a perfect choice for children ages 9 to 13 who are learning to navigate the often harsh waters of middle school cliques and peer pressure.
