What you see isn't always what you get in this funny and
heart-wrenching story about two girls from different crowds who find
common ground, by National Book Award finalist Julie Anne Peters.
Antonia is a "nerd," and Jazz is a "punk." Antonia belongs to the math
club; Jazz hangs out at the tattoo parlor. Antonia's parents are
divorced and her mother suffers from depression. Jazz is from a wealthy,
traditional family. But when these two very different girls find
themselves facing each other in a peer-counseling program, they discover
they have some surprising things in common. With both humor and heart,
this absorbing read will keep readers thinking and laughing. A
reading-group guide written by the author is included at the back of
this paperback edition.
