Summary

Summary

Super-stylish and über-harsh, Kacey Simon is the social dictator of Marquette Middle School. She's BFFs with the prettiest girls, and she even hosts her own TV segment dispensing advice and the cold, hard truth to her classmates—whether they want to hear it or not. But then an eye infection and a visit to the dentist leave her with Coke-bottle glasses, a mouth full of metal, and…a littthp. 

Dismissed by her popular friends, she falls so far down the social ladder she can barely see the top, even with her magnifying specs. With nowhere else to turn, Kacey has to hang with her nerdy neighbor and a boy who walks to the beat of his own drum—or rather, to the beat of the drummer in his band. Zander wants Kacey to be their singer, but she's determined to reclaim her throne. Will she climb back to the top? Or will she discover that hitting rock bottom kind of…rocks?

 In her hilarious debut novel, Meg Haston tells the story of a mean girl who gets more than a new prescription for glasses—she gets a new perspective on life.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“As Haston, in her first YA novel, traces Kasey’s painful tumble down the popularity hill, she offers some clever dialogue and important life lessons.” Publishers Weekly
“Narrator Casey Holloway is excellent, giving Kacey a voice that is overly dramatic, angst-ridden, and occasionally tinged with a hint of Valley Girl lilt. She even nails her post-braces lisp.” School Library Journal
“Written for middle school girls, readers will relate to the obstacles Kacey overcomes. The message of being true to yourself is strong throughout.” Library Media Connection
