Don't Fret, Frida

By Laurie Brown

A heartfelt middle grade novel about friendship, family, and finding your way when life falls apart.

Lots of twelve-year-olds have celebrity crushes. Frida Lang? She idolizes Margaret Mead, the famous anthropologist who studied what it means to be human. Frida wants to follow in her footsteps--observing, understanding, and discovering the world around her.

But after her parents' divorce, Frida's world shrinks. Uprooted from New York City to a small town in southern New Hampshire, she's the new kid at Piece Middle School with no friends, no dad nearby, and a mom who is suddenly struggling more than she'll admit. So Frida does what any good anthropologist would do she studies her classmates like a field experiment, even if the only thing interesting about them seems to be which team jersey they wear.
