Publisher Description: Mia Fullerton has entered her freshman year at St. Hilary's with a goal: to lose her nickname, Mia the Meek, and soar into a confident high school career. Unfortunately, her transformation is made harder by her English-teacher mom, bratty little brother, already popular nemesis, and new neighbor. Although she's prepared herself for the battle by reading Excruciatingly Shy: How to Defeat Public Fear and Become Popular, her freshman year remains a series of uphill battles. The week before school starts, Mia first encounters Tim--the handsome yet seemingly arrogant oldest son of the new family next door. Their relationship develops based on competition--from literature to the basketball court--and Mia's got her work cut out for her. In Mia, author Eileen Boggess has created the best kind of modern female role model--the kind who sees most of her flaws and wants to change them; one who's not only intelligent but athletic; and one who's trying to find her way through a very awkward time in life. In telling her story, Mia proves to be a witty, quick, candid, and interesting fourteen-year-old. |
