Agnes Parker...Keeping Cool in Middle School

156 pp. | Dial | July, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3078-6 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Agnes's plan to survive middle school by staying invisible becomes difficult to maintain given her friendship with a perceived "dorky" boy and her role as campaign manager for best friend Prejean, running for seventh-grade president. The third-person, present-tense narrative is immediate and involving; characters are fresh and distinct. Agnes herself continues to be a sympathetic and believable "girl in progress."
