Is that the one? I saw it in B&N a little while ago, don't know if it's new or not.

Yes. It was in the Children's section. She follows around a bunch of middle and high school students who are on sports teams or clubs and have to balance that with their school work. Fascinating.

Oh God...does she profess she is young and cool enough to look like an awkward 8th grader and is accepted by them no questions asked as the BFF of the cheerleading team? Sounds absolutely like something that is a **MUST** read for my next book club.

When you're just hot or are that good of a reporter, silly things like creativity and originality really just don't seem to matter.

Most often, the publisher selects the book title, not the author. They do that for "marketing" reasons. Since the publisher is paying for the book, they want to make sure that it has a "catchy" title to sell the most copies.

I think the subject is pretty lame. When I was in 8th grade, I got home at like 8pm every night and then had to do homework. And you know what? I survived. I really could care less about some 13 year olds whining about how stressed they are. Wait until they get to the real world and have to work 12 hour days.
