Team Awkward vs. Middle School Moments (Boxed Set): Jojo vs. Middle School; Leah vs. Art; Izzy vs. Cheerleading; Ryan vs. Romance

By Veeda Bybee and Joy McCullough

The charm of The Baby-Sitters Club meets the humor of Dork Diaries in this middle grade series about four girls who experience hilariously terrible first days of sixth grade and vow to navigate middle school together--no matter how awkward it gets. The first four books are now available together in one paperback boxed set

Ever have a moment at school that's so awkward it makes you want to hide in a locker for the rest of the year? Jojo, Leah, Izzy, and Ryan definitely did after their cringe-worthy first days, which included displaying cat-print underwear to the hallway and getting braces stuck to a cute guy's shirt. Too embarrassed to show their faces in the cafeteria, the four girls all ended up eating lunch in an abandoned locker room, and Team Awkward began.

Together they navigate everything from parents' rules, sibling squabbles, and crushes to the humiliation of falling flat on your face during cheerleading try-outs. But maybe, with friends by their side, Team Awkward will find that middle school isn't so bad after all.

This all-too-relatable paperback boxed set includes:
Jojo vs. Middle School
Leah vs. Art
Izzy vs. Cheerleading
Ryan vs. Romance
