6th grader Jessie Lou Ferguson has hit the bottom. She is the most unpopular, uncool, unatractive girl in the school...or as she thought. With a super model-like sister, she felt like she was always being compared to. So she thought that her crush Conrad Parker could never like her or even be friends with her. When Conrad hurts his leg Jessie Lou was told to help him after school, her life takes a turn. Conrad soon sees that he's losing his popular friends and now only really has Jessie Lou and their tag-along Quentin. Despite hanging out all the time, she doesn't think that someone as popular as Conrad could ever like, let alone be friends, with someone like her. Soon they both see there is more to life than being deep down popular.

-Reader Type: Realistic, Romance
-Our Rating: Zig lent this book to Zag when she was younger and it turned out to be one of the books that got her hooked on reading (fun fact). We loved the classic story of how the popular boy falls for the unpopular girl! It's also a very heart warming story that's great for younger kids that talks about how life isn't all popularity. But if you like action-packed books this story may not be very interesting to you.
