This Girl Is Different - Paperback
by J. J. Johnson (Author)
Homeschooled by her counterculture mother, Evie decides to spend her senior year in public school, where she experiences first friendship, first love--and first encounters with the complexities of authority and responsibility.
Evie is different. Not just her upbringing--though that's certainly been unusual--but also her mindset. She's smart, independent, confident, opinionated, and ready to take on a new challenge: The Institution of School. It doesn't take this homeschooled kid long to discover that high school is a whole new world, and not in the way she expected. It's also a social minefield, and Evie finds herself confronting new problems at every turn. Not one to sit idly by, Evie sets out to make changes. Big changes. The movement she starts takes off, but when her plan begins spiraling out of control, Evie is forced to come to terms with a world she is only just beginning to comprehend. J. J. Johnson's powerful debut novel will enthrall readers as it challenges assumptions about friendship, rules, boundaries, and power.Author Biography
