Maine Student Book Award Nominee 2010-2011

So, I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I was not in love with this book. I listened to it on audio, and I didn't find myself enjoying it until disc 4...of 4. I found the narrator to be annoying and have too high an opinion of herself, although I enjoyed watching her realize that some of the other children her age would be okay. I also thought that she was overreacting and just having stress from moving, and when that ended up not being the case, I was disappointed. I'm sure this book will be popular with kids (it's already gone missing from our library once) but it was not my type of book.
