Cardinal rule #1 for surviving school: Don't get noticed by the mean kids.

Cardinal rule #2 for surviving school: Seek out groups with similar interests and join them.

On her first day at her new school, Penelope--Peppi--Torres reminds herself of these basics. But when she trips into a quiet boy in the hall, Jaime Thompson, she's already broken the first rule, and the mean kids start calling her the "nerder girlfriend." How does she handle this crisis? By shoving poor Jaime and running away!

Falling back on rule two and surrounding herself with new friends in the art club, Peppi still can't help feeling ashamed about the way she treated Jaime. Things are already awkward enough between the two, but to make matters worse, he's a member of her own club's archrivals--the science club! And when the two clubs go to war, Peppi realizes that sometimes you have to break the rules to survive middle school!
Svetlana Chmakova was born and raised in Russia until the age of 16, when her family emigrated to Canada.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 10 Yr Old Daughter LOVED this! My daughter really loved this. She says she liked it more than Smile and as much as Drama and gave it a 5 star review. I also really enjoyed this book and thought it was a great book to have shared with my daughter. She says the issues the kids face were realistic and she liked being able to relate (my interpretation of her words) to the characters. I found it a little simplistic as at 10 I'm sure she could handle a little deeper exploration of the content so my personal rating is 4-4.5. Beautiful artwork. Will watch for more titles from this author.
