By: kristen Tracy
Main characters
The main characters are Bessica lefter, the main character. her best friend Sylvie, Bessicas grandmother and Noll beck, who is Sylvie and bessicas huge crush. And then there's Malory Maloney, the girl that is really rude and annoying to everyone but turns out to be really nice. there is also Bessica mom, sylvies mom. Sylvie's mom is the sophisticated type, and doesn't like Bessica family. Except her grandmother, because she makes healthy snacks.
Bessica
The main character of the story. She is the type of girl who is outgoing and nice, but not everyone knows her. But also the kind of girl that would change everything about her just for the popular crowd, or at least for people to like her. She is kind of arrogant, disobeys her parents at times and most of the time only cares about herself. But she does have a soft heart.
Setting
North tenton middle school, and south tenton middle school. This is where Bessica (at north) will be attending, but Sylvie will be attending a different one. The schools are right next to each other, but North's classes are in the morning and south is in noon.
Exposition
The story starts off in the summertime, more towards the beginning of the year. This new school year will be their first in middle school, their 6th grade year. Bessica is just the average girl, trying to fit in with everyone. But they sacrifice lots of things. They throw away their diary, wich they had both been working on since they were 2nd graders and got matching pixie cuts, chopping off most of their hair. But starting off the year, everything went a lot worse then she thought it was going to be.
Facing challanges
On her journey, she faces many problems. The first one is finding friends. Her best friends mom thinks that Bessica is a horrible influence on Sylvie. So instead of going to north with each other, Sylvie wants to go to south instead. this leaves Bessica with no friends. The is forced to sit by the stairs and eat lunch, and has to hide her face to keep from getting beaten.
another one of her problems is her grandmother. Not her grandmother, but her grandmothers boyfriend. Bessica somehow doesn't trust him. And going through all the things she does on a daily basis, Bessica needs her grandma. But Her grandmother and her boyfriend go on a vacation across America. Bessica tries to keep in touch, but she is always too busy.
Kristen Tracy
I recommend trying a book by Kristen Tracy. Her stories seem to hook you, and make you want to keep reading. I personally thought that the book was really good, it always made me wonder what happened next. The book is relatable to me because im in the same situation as me. We are both 6th graders just trying to make it out alive!
