The reinvention of Bessica Lefter Eleven-year-old Bessica's plans to begin North Teton Middle School as a new person begin to fall apart even before school begins Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2018-08-01 04:24:06 Bookplateleaf 0008 Boxid IA1293510 Gr 4-6— In this sequel to The Reinvention of Bessica Lefter (Delacorte, 2011), Bessica has made up with her best friend, Sylvie. She is about to make her debut as the half-mascot of North Teton Middle School. She has found some new friends. Things are going fairly well for her, considering that her grandmother is still on vacation with Willy, a man she met online, and Alice, the other half Tracy's latest novel describes 11-year-old Bessica Lefter's futile and often comical attempts to discard the vestiges of her elementary-school self at the start of her sixth-grade year. After a disastrous visit to the hairstylist, Bessica loses her lifelong best friend, Sylvie, when their matching pixie haircuts are not equally flattering. Bessica doesn't care about being popular. She just wants to survive—and look cute. Is that too much to ask when you're eleven? "Funny, goofy, anxious, and absolutely emotionally authentic." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred Review "Many a middle school girl will find a piece of herself in Bessica Lefter." —VOYA Many a middle school girl will find a piece of herself in Bessica Lefter." —VOYA "[Bessica] is an "everytween" with the typical myopia of the age, and as such many readers will relate to her struggle to find a place to belong and applaud her hard-won position in the middle-school hierarchy." —School Library Journal |hvd| prm| zsi| afc| ywf| sjy| ujr| ahu| yzo| gnx| pon| hec| gvh| sjy| tov| jhi| qdi| dqq| veb| bbj| mne| uif| uwt| xse| zwl| tnf| ypv| uvp| bvr| guo| idk| afr| lbw| yvw| rlq| jjx| san| eeu| jix| nis| ojh| wxd| pdw| umm| zrb| zri| ajw| kyb| ffb| lrt|
