Genie's life is changing. Her dad is dating, her best friend is drifting away, and puberty issues are cropping up at home and at school. To her surprise, she's elected to write the fifth-grade class's blog, focusing on wishes, hopes, and dreams. Genie's comfort in her own skin grows throughout this sincere novel, and her voice is appealingly genuine.
