Lauren Allen's life is the pits. Bobby Taylor's just jilted her. Her
ninth-grade teachers are demerit-crazy. And she has to share her bedroom
with messy younger sister who wants to be a stand-up comic, while her
older sister seems to get everything she wants. Between her parents, her
two sisters, and school, Lauren feels she's got no rights at all.
But then Lauren takes a course, "Law for Children and Young People, "
and meets Zack, an eighth grader who's "nice and attractive and bright
and fuuny." Suddenly Lauren realizes that there are solutions to her
problems. She can protest unfair polices at school. She can stand up to
the kids who call her a cradle robber for going out with Zack. And she
can sue her parents for malpractice...can't she?
