Jennifer L. Holm tells the story of a middle-schooler's life "through stuff". Each page is different -- entries include school assignments, report cards, notes back and forth between the main character Ginny and her mom, others between Ginny and her friend Becky Soo. You get a feel for how Ginny sees life and deals with various situations through these documents, as well as her "Big To Do List" -- which changes as the year progresses. There is a bit of a story that happens throughout as well -- mysterious things happen and over time you are able figure out who is responsible because of the things Ginny has included. This was a very cute and quick read! I think students in 5-8th grades will really enjoy this one!
