Description
In her first year of middle school, tomboy Lizard Flanagan feels left out -- her friends are growing up, but all Lizard wants is to stay the same Twelve-year-old Lizard Flanagan can't believe it when her best friend, Mary Ann, wears a skirt on their first day of middle school. What happened to shorts and dirty sneakers? Suddenly Mary Ann is starting to look and talk like those girly girls she and Lizard always made fun of in elementary school. What's worse, all the sixth-grade girls are acting like they've caught some kind of terrible disease that makes them blush and giggle whenever a boy is around -- and the boys are just as bad. All Lizard wants to do is throw around a football and hang out with her buddies, but something terrible has happened: They've all started the Change, and they've left her behind! Lizard finds herself lost in a strange new world of tights, makeup, and middle school dances. Does maturity mean totally changing who she is? How can she grow up and still be herself?
