Lucy says that when they were little, she and her best friend, Jake, were the same size. But as the years passed, she grew and he didn't. At the beginning of their first year in junior high, Lucy is five foot ten, and Jake is a dwarf. Junior high is bad enough when all goes well, but imagine this odd pair spending time in the company of junior high's best, or should I say worst.

Wonderful story!! So many special characters and each has a GREAT personality. This is a book ALL YA readers will enjoy. Lucy and Jake have an unusual friendship - she is overly tall for her age and Jake is a dwarf. During this school year, their circle of friends start to grow - Gary, Billy, Bebe, Charlene and Kwame and each form a special bond. The adventures and trials these kids share are very realistic.

There are not many who would willingly relive their first few days of junior high. Add to that experience an obvious "I am different" quality and things would be worse. You can gain strength in a story where things are not perfect. It was obvious that Lucy, Jake and Gary were not the norm at their school. Together they made being different not just ordinary, but special.
