Things that surprise you

author: Maschari, Jennifer
"Emily Murphy is about to enter middle school. She's sort of excited ... though not nearly as much as her best friend, Hazel, who is ready for everything to be new. Emily wishes she and Hazel could just continue on as they always have: being the biggest fans ever of the Unicorn Chronicles, making up dance moves, and getting their regular order at the Slice. But things are changing. At home, Emily and her mom are learning to move on after her parents' divorce. At least Mina, her sister, who has been in treatment to deal with her anorexia, is back. But what if Mina gets sick again? Hazel is changing too. She has new friends from the field hockey team, is starting to wear makeup, and has crushes on boys. Emily is trying to keep up, but she keeps doing and saying the wrong thing. She wants to be the perfect new Em. But who is that really?"--Jacket flap.
