The big bar mitzvah that goes suddenly, wildly, hilariously out of control. A first kiss -- and a realization about one's sexual orientation. A crush on a girl that ends up putting the boy who likes her in the hospital. A pair of sneakers a kid has to have. By turns funny and sad, wrenching and poignant, the moments large and small described in these stories capture perfectly the agony and ecstasy of being thirteen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Howe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1416926844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416926849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e74604 \/ 13: Thirteen Stories That Capture the Agony and Ecstasy of Being Thirteen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 34","brand":"James Howe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049876812031,"sku":"9781416926849","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d696254-9840-46ff-b07f-a4d2c643270a.jpg?v=1685003916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/13-james-howe-9781416926849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
