My Crazy Cringeworthy Countdown to Summer

Rebecca wants to be a writer--someday--but for now she's stuck in the pits of Cedar Intermediate School anxiously counting down the last eleven weeks until summer vacation. She receives a journal for her twelfth birthday and decides to begin writing to her future self to describe what life is currently like in Cedar Shore, Delaware. During those weeks, she navigates her way through adolescence with one rite of passage after another: body changes, a growing interest in boys, family challenges, and a childhood friendship on shaky ground. She documents these experiences and more with both laughter and tears as she stumbles headfirst into summer.
