Julia is starting sixth grade and middle school. Instead of enjoying recess, Julia is stuck “controlling variables,” older school bullies, reluctant reading buddy, and mounds and mounds of homework. To make matters worse, Julia’s old dog, Bigfoot slowing down is the final straw for Julia’s world falling apart. Can Julia find a way to get her life under control or will life get the best of her?
A short, fun read for reluctant readers. The characters are well-developed. The plot is well-done and does a good job of holding the reader’s interest. Readers who like realistic fiction, school stories, and friendship stories will enjoy reading this book. EL(4-6). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Service Librarian, WHI Public Library.
