Bookroo's summary

Ginny's seventh-grade year spirals into chaos with pink hair mishaps, detention for frog-throwing, and losing a ballet role to her ex-best friend. Through notes, emails, and cartoons, discover a year filled with unexpected challenges and a quest for self-discovery. Will Ginny find her true self amidst the turmoil?

From the publisher

Ginny has ten items on her big to-do list for seventh grade. None of them, however, include accidentally turning her hair pink. Or getting sent to detention for throwing frogs in class. Or losing the lead role in the ballet recital to her ex-best friend. Or the thousand other things that can go wrong between September and June. But it looks like it’s shaping up to be that kind of a year! Here’s the story of one girl’s worst school year ever – told completely through her stuff.
