How a young teen comes to accept herself for who she is. Twelve-year-old Kari Ann is angry her family insists she attend a family reunion with them instead of going with her best friend to the Mall of America. She feels awkward, out-of-sink with her body and life. She hates being twelve! When Kari Ann's mother gives her a journal to capture her thoughts during the reunion, Kari Ann takes the assignment seriously and so begins a journey of discovery about life-including an exciting rescue, faith and herself. It was good at the beginning of the story. It was great to the end. I liked it very much. Thumbs up. --Alicia Age 9
