Flashcards of My Life

Emily is pretty sure her life couldn+t be any more complicated. Her different friends get along like tuna fish salad with ice cream, her mom keeps baking desserts with nuts (a tedious diet strategy), her best friend Sandra is worryingly secretive, and she+s stranded on Crush Island without a lifeboat. When Emily receives an unexpected birthday gift, a pack of note cards labeled Flashcards of My Life, she uses them for journaling inspiration to try to untangle her increasingly knotted life. With lots of imagination, a good dose of humor, a dash of hysteria, and a mounting store of wisdom, Emily finds that she might be able to brave growing up after all. This pitch-perfect rendering of life in junior high is sure to captivate fans of The Princess Diaries, My So-Called Life, and Millicent Min: Girl Genius.
