Bookroo's summary

Kacey Simon, once the queen bee of Marquette Middle School, faces social exile after an eye infection and braces transform her appearance. Abandoned by her popular friends, she finds unexpected allies in her nerdy neighbor and a punk rock band member. As Kacey struggles to regain her social standing, she must confront the true meaning of friendship and self-worth. Will she reclaim her throne, or will she find that life at the bottom offers its own rewards? Dive into Kacey's journey of self-discovery and see if she can redefine what it means to be on top.

From the publisher

Read the book that inspired the Nickelodeon TV show! Perfect for fans of Middle School and Awkward. Super-stylish and uber-harsh, Kacey Simon is the social dictator of Marquette Middle School. But when an eye infection and a visit to the dentist leave her with giant glasses, a mouth full of metal, and…a littthp, Kacey is dismissed by her popular friends, falling so far down the social ladder she can barely see the top, even with her magnifying specs.With nowhere else to turn, Kacey has to hang with her nerdy neighbor and a boy who walks to beat of his own drum, but she’s determined to reclaim her throne. Will she climb back to the top? Or will she discover that hitting rock bottom kind of…rocks?
