Hannah Perry (nerdperry) | 4 comments I read this series around 2006, and I believe there were four books in it at the time (that’s how many the library had, anyway). I remember in one of the scenes the middle school girls in the health class are sitting around with the teacher and they pass a pad around the room and MC doesn’t bother to look at it because she’s already seen one. They talk about what a period is and why girls get it. She talks to her mother about the class and wants to quit, but the mother is upset because MC doesn’t stick with anything she starts, and the mother makes her stay in the class.

In another book the girl is in a drama club/class and has to perform a play with a boy she doesn’t get along with, but they end up becoming friends. His girlfriend ends up really jealous and starts fighting with him. She pulls him down the stairs, making it look like they’re fighting and that he’s the one who started it in order to get him kicked out of the play (which works).

The other books also follow MC trying a different class or club, but she doesn’t stick with any one thing for longer than a single book.

Hannah, I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Rainbowheart | 28692 comments Maybe the Aviva Granger series by Jeanne Betancourt?

Valentine Blues has a sex ed class where they talk about periods. Other titles in the series are The Rainbow Kid, Turtle Time, Puppy Love, and Crazy Christmas.
