Wow, it’s really difficult to be a 6th grader! Especially when you’re not good at anything, well, maybe art.

Catie Conrad, a typical sixth grade Christian, is ask for life being easier but her little brother and his pet skunk tend to make things aggravating. Add to that, a new crush and a mean girl bent on ruining Catie’s life and you’ve got the makings of a bad semester… our an awesome story.

Hott Review:

I enjoyed this Catie Conrad book even more than the last.
Catie’s books are perfect for middle grade girls because, although she’s a Christian, her life isn’t perfect or easy. Catie struggles with turning the other cheek and with forgiveness, reminding readers that even as Christians we are not perfect. Plus, Catie has a fun, if overly dramatic, personality that will keep everyone coming back for more.
As with the previous book, this one is written diary style with plenty of fashion designs, illustrations, and applicable bible verses thrown in.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
