Starting with her birthday in March, every chapter brings a new month and a new event in Winnie's life. From surviving her teenage sister's grumpy mood swings in April to dealing with prissy new rival Gail Grayson in September, there's a calendar full of the ups and downs of being eleven years old.
Especially hard for Winnie is the growing distance between herself and her best friend, Amanda, as both girls grow into different social circles. Add to that Winnie's older sister, a feisty new kitten, and a first crush, and Winnie may undergo more than one surprising change by her twelfth birthday.
The big and little moments of Winnie's year are captured with honesty and warmth, and her sharp observations and infectious enthusiasm make for hilarious storytelling. Eleven-year-olds of all ages will discover themselves in this winning young heroine on the brink of adolescence.
