Scoliosis twists Deenie&;s plans for seventh grade in this classic Judy Blume novel with a fresh new look.Deenie&;s mother wants her to be a model, with her face on magazine covers&;maybe even in the movies&;but Deenie wants to spend Saturdays with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the captain of the football team, around Woolworth&;s. She wants to be a cheerleader, too, and go to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy Brader play his drums. Instead, Deenie is diagnosed with scoliosis.

Suddenly Deenie has to cope with a kind of specialness that&;s frightening&;and might be hers forever.
