{"product_id":"brett-mccarthy-work-in-progress-9780440240556","title":"Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress","description":"Brett McCarthy lives for vocabulary words, soccer, and her larger-than-life grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, Brett's got a big mouth she can't seem to tame and opinions she can't keep to herself. And she's obsessed with the moment she became redefined and went from good student, bestfriend-to-Diane to twice-suspended, friendless, and deadest meat in Maine. Soon her world has turned upside down, and she's not sure where she fits, what she should do, or how to make right what she, and her big fat mouth, have made wrong. Brett's fresh and funny voice will keep readers laughing out loud at her plights, groaning in sympathy at every misstep, and rooting for her as things go from bad to worst ever possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Spring 2008 Association of Booksellers for Children New Voices Pick\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Padian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred A.
