Book ID/图书代码： 02330007B11168

English Summary/英文概要： From a debut author comes a heart-warming novel about a unique girl and her seventh grade experiences.

Emma-Jean Lazarus is the smartest and strangest girl at William Gladstone Middle School. Her classmates don’t understand her, but that’s okay because Emma-Jean doesn’t quite get them either. But one afternoon, all that changes when she sees Colleen Pomerantz crying in the girl’s room. It is through Colleen that Emma-Jean gets a glimpse into what it is really like to be a seventh grader. And what she finds will send her tumbling out of a tree and questioning why she ever got involved in the first place.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Emma-Jean Lazarus不僅是學校最聰明也是最奇怪的女孩，沒有同學瞭解她，願意和她作朋友，但對她來說也無所謂，因為她也不想跟他們來往。不過就在某天下，當看見一位名叫Pomerantz同學獨自在教室裡哭泣後，就改變了所有事。似乎從她瞥見Pomerantz的那一刻起她才真瞭解真正自己和同學間的差異……(VL)

“Through a compelling third-person narrative, first novelist Tarshis completely inhabits the character of an eccentric seventh-grader who will quickly win over readers…. Readers will cheer on Emma-Jean.”---Publishers Weekly

“Readers will be fascinated by Emma-Jean’s emotionless observations and her adult-level vocabulary. Tarshis pulls off a balancing act, showing the child’s detachment yet making her a sympathetic character. Exceptionally fleshed-out secondary characters add warmth to the story, including the school janitor who unobtrusively resolves all manner of middle school drama. The plot meshes well with the setting, a close-up of school social life. Future Jane Austen fans will appreciate the subtle humor, minute observations, and snapshot of the unwritten class structure that governs 12-year-old behavior. Get this into the right hands by recommending it as a read-aloud for kids lucky enough to be read to in later elementary or early middle school.”---School Library Journal

“Incisively voiced…. [A] winning heroine…. The comic juice in the story comes from Emma-Jean’s hyper-rational yet totally skewed take on reality, and her evolution from analyst to actor makes for a captivating, highly satisfying read.”---Kirkus
