Summary: The book is about a girl named Margaret who has grown up in an awkward household of one parent being Christian and the other being Jewish. The book also addresses many other female related issues of growing up and being in the sixth grade. It addresses all the facts of puberty for girls and then there is the whole other issue of getting boyfriends. Margaret gets all crazy and confused about how to be a teenage girl and what religion to go with. She just has to find her way in the boy crazy world of sixth grade. I would use this book as an independent reading assignment for my class if they were in fifth or sixth grade. It may help them to discover whats happening top them or whats coming up.
