Book overview

Jennifer, a struggling seventeen-year-old girl bombarded with low self-esteem because of her dyslexia, ends her junior year in high school with devastating news. Her school counselor tells her mom she won't be promoted to a senior. Her mom's solution is to send her away, far away, in the middle of nowhere, to her grandparents for the summer.

She's expected to study and complete a rigorous load of schoolwork and pass a massive test in order to continue high school as a senior. But she has hardly passed any tests in her entire high school career. She leaves her one and only friend back at home and faces her rival--an old friendship gone sour.

But not all is lost. Jennifer learns more than she ever imagined. Based on true personal challenges.
