Every year Pipi McGee starts school thinking it is going to be a great year and every year some great humiliation happens. Well 8th grade is going to be the year she resolves all those past humiliations. She creates of list of each year's tragedy and starts working through them. There is of course the self portrait she drew in kindergarten that showed her future self as bacon...with boobs. There is the vomitathon, the pants peeing episode, the school picture with her finger up her nose, and so many more. In trying to right these wrongs, Pipi often creates new disasters and hurts those she loves. But she also makes new friends and realizes important things about herself.

I adore Beth Vrabel and this book ranks right up there with my favorites of hers. Pipi is such a fun character who gets really hung up on some embarrassing moments from her past. But in trying to fix those moments she learns to let them go, which is a hard lesson to learn. I really liked her supporting cast from her family to her friends to the new friends she makes. This is a fantastic read!
