  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Shug&lt;/b&gt; is clever and brave and true (on the inside, anyway). And she's about to become your new best friend.

Annemarie Wilcox, or Shug as her family calls her, is beginning to think there's nothing worse than being twelve. She's too tall, too freckled, and way too flat-chested. Shug is sure that there's not one good or amazing thing about her. And now she has to start junior high, where the friends she counts most dear aren't acting so dear anymore -- especially Mark, the boy she's known her whole life through. Life is growing up all around her, and all Shug wants is for things to  be like they used to be. How is a person supposed to prepare for what happens tomorrow when there's just no figuring out today?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I personally thought this book was okay.  It was way to easy to read and way to simple.  My brother read it (he's in the third grade) IDK why he read it.  He told me he wants to read a random book... so not my point though.  He even told me it was way too easy to read.  Easy read, cute story, but pe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37178015">more...</a>]]></body>

The main character is 12 years old, but she doesn’t sound it. Sometimes the way she spoke sounded like a grown-up to me.
