Description
Future scientist Madeline Little is dreading the start of middle school. Nothing has been right since her grandfather died and her best friend changed schools. Maddie would rather help her father in his research lab or write Standard Operating Procedures in her lab notebook than hang out with a bunch of kids who aren't even her friends. Despite Maddie's reluctance, some new friends start coming her way--until they discover what she's written in that secret notebook. And that's just part of the trouble. Can this future scientific genius find the formula for straightening out her life?

Reviews
* "Teagan offers a smart, breezy narrative that is both clever and approachable, offering a fresh twist on the familiar topic of middle school angst. Her characters are realistic and funny as they fumble through early adolescence and grapple with the reality of change... Highly enjoyable for aspiring scientists, budding artists, and regular kids."
--Kirkus, STARRED review "...first-time author Teagan underscores the importance of compassion and forgiveness as she provides thoughtful insight into a girl working hard to try to maintain control over a life filled with unwelcome developments."
--Publishers Weekly "Science-minded readers will cheer to meet their match in Maddie as she conquers her demons and learns what exactly it means to have--and be--a friend."
--Booklist "Madeline's prickly independence and sense of herself... result in a character whose evolution is highly satisfying."
