Alice McKinley comes home on the first day of junior high with a list of seven things about seventh grade that stink. Just about the only good thing she can think of is that sheâs friends with everyone. Maybe thatâs how to survive seventh gradeâmake it through the entire year with everyone liking her.
That turns out to be easier said than done, when Alice gets on the wrong side of the school bully, Denise âMack Truckâ Whitlock. But Aliceâs problems with Denise pale in comparison with the romantic entanglements of both her father and her older brother, Lester. And when Alice decides to help them outâŚlife gets even more complicated.
