Outspoken seventh grader Addie Carle confronts bullying and heartbreak in this third book of the funny, heartfelt, and beloved Misfits series by Bunnicula author James Howe.They say in the seventh grade you are who they say you are, but how can that be true? How can I be a Godzilla-girl lezzie loser know-it-all big mouth beanpole string bean freaky tall fall-down spaz attack brainiac maniac hopeless nerd bad word brown-nosing teacher’s pet… How can I be all that and still be true to the real me while everyone is saying: This is who you are. Addie has been called a lot of names. Until now, her tough exterior and her best friends–Bobby, Joe, and Skeezie–made the teasing easy enough to ignore. But dealing with a broken heart in more ways than one makes seventh grade harder than Addie expected, and she begins to wonder if standing up for who she is on the inside will only make her more of a target on the outside.
James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, which was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.
