INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Tracy, Kristen

Too Cool for This School

(4) 4-6 Lane is excited for sixth grade. She's class captain, has great friends, and even has a secret boyfriend. Then her cousin Mint pays an extended visit and throws a wrench in things. Instead of being the outcast Lane assumes she will be, Mint instantly makes friends...and enemies. While the dialogue and dramas ring true, easy solutions detract from the story.
