Negotiating middle school is challenging when Allie's best friend becomes more interested in cheerleading and popularity than in soccer and old friendships. Allie also has to choose between her handsome but humorless crush and her nerdy but nice lab partner. Allie's appealing voice and witty invented words ("accidiss": an accidental insult) enrich the familiar plot.
