Desiree S. | 2 comments This has been bothering me for quite some time! This coming of age series (I don't think there were very many - maybe 3-4 books that I knew of) followed a girl who was 12-13 and up while she was at school etc. I read a couple of them (maybe even three) from 95-99.

The only really good specific I can remember was a bit about the boys in her class giving all the girls "state" nicknames based on how busty or flat chested they were. So if a girl was really flat she'd get nicknamed after a really flat state, like Kansas. I can't even remember what the main character ended up with. There was also a bit in the series about when she got her period, but I can't remember the details other than it happened in the night when she wasn't home and was visiting someone else's house (a relative maybe).

Any and all help appreciated!!

Lisa (med0ra) | 433 comments The Alice series has the state nickname of the girls by boys in it. The Agony of Alice
I believe Alice in Aprilis the one with state nicknames.

Desiree S. | 2 comments YES by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor! Thank you! I didn't think it would get solved so fast - apparently I read more of them than I realized and there are many more of them than I realized, the author wrote several more after I stopped reading them!
Now how to move this to the solved pile?
