Agnes Parker...Girl in Progress — Kathleen O'Dell

Can you become a new version of you?

Agnes Parker is trying to become ... well, not someone else exactly, but just a better version of the girl she's always been. One who's not such an easy target for bully-girls like Peggy Neidermeyer, and who can be as confident and clever as her best friend Prejean. Getting glasses doesn't exactly help Agnes's mission, but a view of the amazing new boy in class just might.

Is he actually looking back at her? Will she actually be able to talk to him? Or will she be, as always, the same old Agnes? Maybe . . . not!

Surprises, fun, and a new friend all await within the pages of this wise and funny chronicle of one go-for-it girl's life in progress.
