The encyclopedia of me

by Karen Rivers

Aaron-Martin,Tink. That's me, aged almost thirteen, the star of this encyclopedia. I wrote it in my spare time during the weirdest, most wonderful summer of my life. I had a lot of spare time due to being grounded. (But it wasn't my fault! At least, not totally.) Anderson, Freddie Blue. My BFF, who is prettier and funnier and better than me in every way, which I don't resent at all. Really. Truly. Mot at all. Nope. Blue-Haired Boy Who Just Moved in Next Door, The. His name is Kai. You're probably thinking, "Wow, that sounds like the noise seals make!" And it's true. Kai's kind of cute, I guess, if you like skateboarding, blue-haired boys next door. (And maybe I do.) Kissing. There is some! And yes, I just skipped eight letters, but I thought you might like to hear about the exciting parts. Want to know more? Well, I'm not giving anything else away. You'll just have to read the book, won't you?
