As I was catching up on my cataloging this afternoon, this title caught my eye. The story of Ginny's 8th grade year is told through stuff--there are sticky notes, poems, journal entries, grocery lists, report cards, hand-drawn comic strips, homework assignments, bank statements, and STUFF. Over the course of the year, Ginny's family moves (twice), her mom has a baby, her older brother wreaks havoc, she writes lots of poems--for class assignments, her step-Bob loses his job, and Ginny survives 8th grade with her sense of humor still intact.
This was a cute and sometimes funny story and I think my students will like it. It was a quick, easy read and the graphics made it entertaining. I may have to go back and re-read it, just in case I missed something. :)
Happy Reading!!
