(3) YA Eighth-grader Brett is in hot water after pulling a prank then punching a classmate. Not only is the honor-roll student/soccer star/word buff suspended, she's also on the outs with her best friend. To top things off, her grandmother has cancer. Padian's spirited protagonist navigates through rough waters, ultimately emerging with a stronger sense of self.
