This book first came out when I was about the same age as Lissa, and having the same problems with being excluded from social cliques in school. I recently re-read it, and as the pain of that time in my life came back, I realized just how much the book helped me to realize that cliques weren't the be-all and end-all of my life...I only hope that the girls who did that to me also realized it in time.
This is a great book for girls who are dealing with cliques.

This book deserves to come back into print. It's a great read, and it deals with a topic that faces many girls in fifth and sixth grades - the cruelty of cliques. I recommend it to the girls who form the cliques and the girls who are excluded by them.

Lissa is smart and funny, but she's also made an enemy of Debra Dobbins, the most popular girl in her class, partly because Debra stole her three-color pen. All of a sudden, Lissa has no friends and is excluded from Debra's exclusive FUNCHY club. Lissa is caught between being her own person and being like everyone else. Lissa's reaction at the end of the book is wonderful. This is an extremely enjoyable story. Definitely worth reading!
