Praise for Jessica Darling's It List: "Readers meeting Jessica for
the first time will be charmed by this authentic and funny girl who
makes well-tread territory feel as new as a pair of
first-day-of-school sneakers."--Publishers Weekly
* "This latest installment in the perils of Pineville Junior High
can be described in just the same way as describing its title
character: hilarious, sweet, and smart. This is a fun but not
fluffy book; instead it provides some insightful truths about the
heartbreaks of growing up, while maintaining a wicked sense of
humor."--VOYA (starred review)
"I loved meeting Megan McCafferty's hilarious and irrepressible
Jessica Darling in Sloppy Firsts. Now, I'm thrilled to turn back
the clock and watch her navigate the highs and lows of seventh
grade. I laughed and cheered for her and so will you."--Wendy Mass,
New York Times bestselling author of The Candymakers and 13
Gifts
"Jessica is a winning heroine, and as she stumbles and fumbles (and
literally falls flat on her face), readers will laugh alongside her
and, yes, cheer as she comes into her authentic
self."--Booklist
"Jessica Darling is starting seventh grade, trying her best to
navigate changing friendships and the mysteries of boys -- with
cringe-worthy embarrassments at every turn. A good series for
tweens who have made their way through Dork Diaries but are not
quite ready for Gossip Girl."--School Library Journal
"McCafferty knows her way around this age group; her depictions are
pitch-perfect and will loudly resonate with girls facing their own
friends and foes."--Kirkus Reviews
"My long lost friend Jessica Darling is back! I feel so lucky to
have a peek into her middle school years in Megan McCafferty's
sparkly new series. How I've missed you so, Jessica
Darling!"--Jenny Han, New York Times bestselling author of the
Summer series and Shug
"Razor-sharp writing, witty dialogue, and the genuineness of
Jessica's struggles make this a sure bet for tween
readers."--Booklist
"Told in the hilariously authentic voice of a preteen girl, this
book will have readers laughing out loud at Jessica's high jinks,
especially her disastrous stint as the school's mascot."--School
Library Journal
