Weissman, Elissa Brent Standing for Socks, 220 p. Atheneum (Simon), 2009. $16.
EL, MS – ADVISABLE
Near the end of 5th grade, Fara accidentally wore two different socks to school. Now, at the beginning of 6th grade, wearing two socks has become her signature and her burden as she struggles to find her place in middle school. Fara decides to at least stay with the bit until after the 6th grade elections, as the notoriety can only help her campaign. But a bit of dirty tricks make pull the dream rug right out from under her.
I found Fara very smart and a lot of fun to get to know. Especially when she realized that being known for one thing is not always that great.
