From the Publisher

The count-up saga of preteen Winnie Perry continues. When last seen, Winnie was straddling 11; now she's advanced to the much more adult fields of 12. But her new wisdom hasn't exactly relieved her of anxiety. She worries about the resiliency of her new friendship with Dinah and the prospect of surviving junior high; she also frets over shopping for bras with Mom. A compassionate look at a young girl growing up.
