![]() ![]() ![]() Readers will root for Penny, a talented artist, as she develops her gifts and adapts to small-town life. But Hepler’s novel is greater than the sum of its parts, held together by Penny’s genuine voice and emotions. Much is familiar here: The characters are drawn with broad strokes-mysterious love interest, quirky best friend, evil nemesis-and the plot device by which the popular crowd is tricked into gaining weight will ring bells with readers who have seen Mean Girls. When she finds herself targeted for elaborate pranks by the local queen bee, she must dig deep to survive her freshman year. Penny’s sardonic first-person narration is sophisticated, but at heart she is still just a 13-year-old casualty of her parents’ unraveling marriage and their inability to communicate with each other or with her. ![]() Things go from bad to worse when Mom decides to stay in Hog’s Hollow, open a cupcake bakery and enroll Penny at the local high school.
