Bookroo's summary

Mackenzie Miller is determined to conquer seventh grade with ambitious projects: finding her mom a boyfriend, reclaiming lost friendships, and organizing a jaw-dropping fundraiser. But reality proves tougher than her mom's romantic comedies, and her old friends remain distant. As Mackenzie juggles these challenges, she wonders if her big dreams require more than just her determination. Can she achieve her goals, or will she need a little help from unexpected allies? Dive into Mackenzie's world of friendship, family, and the quest for the perfect school year, where every plan seems to unravel in surprising ways.

From the publisher

A story of family, friendship, and making life work – no matter what it throws at you!Mackenzie Miller has big goalsFor instance, conquering 7th grade – with projects. There’s the Mom Project (finding her a boyfriend – even if she says she’s not interested), the Friend Project (win back the BFFs who dumped her and make a new friend), and the Band Project (so what if she’s never planned a fundraiser? How hard can it be?).But finding real-life romance is a lot more complicated than her mom’s favorite movies make it look. And last year’s friends still won’t tell Mackenzie what she did wrong. And the fundraiser? It has to be beyond impressive, since Mackenzie sort of accidentally promised a live band so amazing it will “make everyone poop their pants.”The harder Mackenzie works to craft the perfect school year, the more she feels like she’s failing. She can do it all, can’t she? Or do her big goals require something more – like a little help from her friends?
