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!

This one is awesome! It will be a Graphic Novel Book Club pick for sure. Possibly January.
The illustrations in this book are amazing, they are extremely cute and expressive and you can easily spend time admiring these characters or re-read just to see them again. The story is really simple and fun, where sometimes a good person can make a mistake and make another feel bad. The girl spends most of her time trying to find away to apologize to a kind boy she pushed. They end up being fast friends, but they are in rival clubs that are competing for a table at a school event. This book was really an enjoyable fast read with a lot of nice characters and situations that are both silly and a few more serious. A lot of middle grade readers are enjoying this book now and I can see why! I recommend! ~Ashley
