How It All Ends

    (Greenwillow, 2024)

Thirteen-year-old Tara lives inside the non-stop adventure of her imagination. It’s far more entertaining inside her own mind than in dull, everyday life. But when she’s bumped from seventh grade directly to high school, she gets a dramatic jolt to reality! Now, Tara is part of a future she doesn’t feel at all ready for. She’s not ready to watch the racy shows the high school kids like, or to listen to the angsty music, or to stop playing make-believe with her younger brother. She’s not ready to change for PE in front of everyone, or for the chaos of the hallways or for the anarchy of an English class that’s overrun with fourteen-year-old boys. But then there’s Libby. Tara doesn’t know whether she’s ready for Libby. She can’t even explain who Libby is to her because she doesn’t know yet. She just knows that everything’s more fun when she and her new classmate are together. But what will happen next? How will it all end?
