Preview: Hear it

Brett McCarthy lives for soccer, vocabulary words, and her largerthanlife grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, Bretts got a huge mouth she cant seem to tame and opinions she cant keep to herself. Its thanks in part to both of those things (well, really, the evil Jeanne Anne) that Brett finds herself going from good student and BFF to Diane, to twicesuspended, friendless, and lunching with the principal every day. Indefinitely. So when Nonna starts going for lots of medical tests and no one will tell her why, Bretts already turnedupside down world goes from bad to worse, and shes not sure where she fits, who she is, or how to make right what she, and her big fat mouth, have made wrong. Maria Padian makes her literary debut with a laughoutloud comingofage novel about one smartmouthed 14yearold whos learning the hard way that she is a work in progress. From the Hardcover edition.
