Face Forward #2

By Megan E. Bryant

In the second book of this satisfying young middle-grade series, Abby McAdams has to deal with a lack of privacy, the onset of puberty, and all the other problems that can come with being a preteen!

Abby McAdams knows that BIG things are heading her way.

Her eleventh birthday. Fifth-grade graduation. The end of elementary school! There's also the end-of-year overnight camping trip, and she can't wait to practice her science skills. Additionally, Abby suspects she's probably going to get her period any day now. But after a few false alarms, she's not quite so sure. Can Abby navigate new emotions, friendship dynamics, and her changing body--all while figuring out what kind of person she wants to be?

With plenty of humor and heart, this is an encouraging story of self-discovery, transformations, and forging your own path.
