(4) 4-6 When Jake starts seventh grade, he doesn't expect much to change--after all, he hasn't. Unfortunately, his best friend Danny has, and his transformation results in a rift. The tribulations of Jake's popular sister Hannah and wacky friend Dorothy add additional perspective to this accurate and unexpectedly deep portrait of modern junior-high life. Lengthy passages of phone texts and IMs are distracting.
