A light, quick read. Maybe too light considering the actual problems Josephine is facing? I admit I was sometimes annoyed with Josephine's reactions/focus, but I do think she exhibited some growth over the course of the novel. I think tweens could definitely relate to this story of dealing with bigger issues (like a parent being diagnosed with cancer) while trying to tackle normal middle school pressures and low self-esteem.
