| Description: |
Sara's 14th summer was turning out to be the most confusing of her life. Up until then, things has flowed smoothly. Now, she wanted to fly away from everything - her beautiful older sister, her bossy Aunty Willie, her remote father and herself. This book won the John Newbery medal. |
| Synopsis: |
The orange sneakers were typical of her mood. One minute Sara had been rather fond of them. The next she detested them, thought them as gross as her enormous feet, her impossible body, her ridiculous hair. And that was how it had been all summer. The elation of one moment would give way to tears the next, with no warning, for no reason. |
