Children's author Hodgman's slices-of-life memoir catalogues the silly, painful, and awkward moments of her childhood through her sixth-grade year. She leaps from past to present and skitters off on tangents--great fun for readers who can follow her train of thought. Upper-elementary and middle-schoolers are sure to enjoy her breezy tone and offbeat humor. Family photos--and snapshots of her stuffed animals--are included.
