It's Bethany's last summer before starting high school. She's both thrilled and terrified all at the same time! The thought of going to football games and dances in the fall is exciting to Bethany, but also a little intimidating. That's why she wishes she had a boyfriend of her very own to attend these school activities with and she wonders if she'll ever have one. Luckily, she has her bff, Shelby to take her mind off her worries. They'll ride Bethany's moped, and hang out at the lake and maybe even find a boyfriend. It will be a summer of firsts, from kisses to love if she can keep her frenemy, Brooke, from causing problems and Shelby's pesky older brother Jack from interfering. My 8th Grade Summer is a delightful coming of age story best suited for tween and young teen girls.
