Stacy Friedman is getting ready for her bat mitzvah. Stacy wants to be a comedienne when she grows up, and that comes through in the dialogue. She's struggling with how she looks, her friends, her crush, and her family. This is not a deep book by any means. It's light and often humorous. Many middle school girls will be able to completely relate to Stacy's predicaments.
