Molly in the Middle (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781481480321)

A girl finds herself in the middle of a big decision--follow the crowd or follow her heart--in this hilarious M!X novel.

Twelve-year-old Molly Mahoney is in the middle of everything. She's in the middle of her parent's impending divorce. She's in the middle of her rebellious older sister and her lazy younger sister. She's in the middle of her class, ranked at exactly 143 out of 286. Even her name (first and last!) places her right in the middle of the alphabet. And after a morning where her parents forget to drive her to school, and the field trip she was supposed to be on leaves without her, Molly decides it's time to figure out how she can finally be in the spotlight--and stop being invisible.

But her new, outlandish ways put her in a different middle altogether. She now finds herself in the middle of her new, popular group of friends, who think the New Molly is amazing and bold, while her old BFF, Kellan thinks the New Molly is mean and aloof and headed for trouble. What's worse, Kellan doesn't hide his feelings. Faced with a probable future in a wheelchair, Kellan doesn't understand why Molly would risk getting in trouble just to be popular. So when Molly has to choose between going to the year's biggest party with her new pals, or participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Walk with Kellan, she's stuck in the middle once again. Can Molly reconcile the Old Molly with New Molly--and figure out the best way to make her mark?
