The Encyclopedia of Me

(2) 4-6 Isadora (Tink) chronicles her twelve-going-on-thirteen summer in encyclopedia form (with footnotes, cross-references, etc.). It's an amusing yet emotional journey: one of her brothers is autistic, resulting in family tension; she and BFF Freddie Blue grow apart; and the new blue-haired neighbor boy complicates everything. Tink remains true to herself, but her personality and confidence grow stronger, creating a light but sincere, spirited story.
