Here's to You, Rachel Robinson

Description: The companion to Just as Long as We're Together is back with a new look perfect for middle grade readers!

From the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret comes a sharp, heartfelt story about perfectionism, messy families, shifting friendships, and the pressure to have it all together--told with Judy Blume's trademark honesty and humor.

Can you be too perfect?

From the outside, Rachel looks like the perfect daughter in the perfect family. She gets straight A's, excels at music, and is the friend everyone counts on. But ever since her brother was kicked out of boarding school, life at home has been a disaster, and Rachel feels responsible for holding it all together.

Between stressing out because of her brother, keeping her friendships on track, and juggling not only a secret crush on her brother's tutor but also unexpected attention from the dreamy Jeremy Dragon, Rachel's life is starting to feel anything but under control. As the pressure builds, Rachel has to decide whether being perfect is actually helping her--or keeping her from the life she really wants.
