BECOMING BRIANNA GN

Middle school is full of challenges. Everyone knows how much brainy Bri likes the spotlight (not). So why did she ever agree to something that forces her to learn a new language, give a speech, help organize a party, and juggle drama at school and home?! As the big event inches closer, Bri wonders if it\'s all worth it? Told in alternating past and present chapters, Bri\'s heartwarming story unfolds over the eight months leading up to her bat mitzvah as well as over the course of the big day itself. Available in softcover and hardcover editions. (W/A/CA) Terri Libenson
