Becca is a lowly boring sixth grader who is very involved with academics. After an accident involving the most popular girl in school, Selfie –Becca finds herself thrown into a madcap adventure to recover, you guessed it, the principals underwear (in this case an oversized bra). Now Becca is discovering a popularity world she didn’t know existed, having wild adventures, and stepping out of her comfort zone. Contains lots of illustrations.

Well, there are a number of content that push this from
elementary to middle for me from the bra thing, to teen themes, to the disrespect
of teachers. All things I think would make
a middle schooler love this book –thought the cover does look kind of younger.
Its quite perfect as a high/low book for middle school girl. My only big
complaint about the plot is the Becca seems to forget about her true self and
doesn’t either meld the two worlds or come back around to accepting her old
life.
