Aprašymas

In this hilarious illustrated middle grade novel, Hangameh "Harriet" Mansoor faces bullies, bad grades, AND puberty. Will she survive the worst month of her eleven-year-old life?

Eleven-year-old Hangameh "Harriet" Mansoor really needs to catch a break. Puberty gifted her a big nose and bushy eyebrows, which make her stick out even more than being the only Iranian girl among all her blonde, blue-eyed classmates. But the sixth-grade camping trip to Camp Cottontail could be the perfect opportunity to turn her middle-school fate around. She'd finally have a little space from her over-protective parents and moody older sister; she'd have some serious fun with her best friend Cathy; and she'd maybe even gather up the courage to talk to her long-time crush, Jeremy.

Unfortunately, a string of terrible luck threatens everything. Her bully, Sarah Gill, starts to date Jeremy and when she catches a glimpse of Harriet's unshaved legs, she gives Harriet an awful nickname: Hairy Man Suit. But worst of all, her parents announce that money problems might force them to move all the way back to Iran--and soon--sending her far away from her best friend and everything she knows. While Harriet usually tries to blend in as much as possible and keep the peace, she'll have to speak up and stand up if she wants to solve any of these catastrophes. But can she do it before her family packs up everything to leave the country?
