Cassie's only ten years old, but her life is already ruined. That's what happens when her dad moves her family away from her big city life and friends in Texas. As if that weren't bad enough, now she's surrounded by chickens and blood-sucking spider-bugs called TICKS. Everything is weird in Arkansas. But they think she is weird. Not only is she starting a new school with no friends, but she doesn't even know her phone number. Or where her house is. Or how to get to the cafeteria. All she wants is to go back to Texas. But her parents won't let her, so she falls back on Plan Make new friends. It's not that easy when everyone thinks she's a little unusual. Cassie has to prove one thing to all of she's an extraordinarily ordinary girl. Read along with Cassie as she navigates the pitfalls of school days in this fantastically funny and heart-warming illustrated series for preteens filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and, of course, ice cream. The first book in a hilarious series for children. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Junie B. Jones, and Dork Diaries.
