Review

This diary style narrative tells of April Sinclairs life as an 8th grader. Seventh grade ended on a high note, she had a boyfriend and a BFF. Eighth grade seemed like it would be just as great - that is until another boy comes into the picture, leading to jealousy and other typical Jr. High pressures and emotional upheavals that impact Aprils life. This engaging story will surely connect with young adolescents.

Overall Book Score: good
