"ODell creates some of the liveliest characters in recent fiction," said VOYA of Agnes Parker . . . Girl in Progress. And here, those characters face the exciting, nerve-racking rite of passage that is seventh grade. It makes for Kathleen ODells most genuine, endearing book yet. Who better to introduce readers to middle school than the funny, warmhearted Agnes, who cant be invisible even when she tries.
