More DescriptionEve Belkin isn't looking forward to starting at a new shcool in the middle of eighth grade, but she has no choice after her father loses his job and her mother accepts a position in a new city. However, she's determined to succeed for the sake of her parents, who want her to be a 'normal' girl instead of the outcast she was in her old school because of her big mouth and matching attitude. She's surprised to find that blending in to the popular crowd isn't at all difficult, but there is a price to pay: pretending to be someone she's not takes its toll until Eve finally explodes. Ultimately, she goes back to being herself and learns that not only is she happier this way, other people like her better for her non-'normal' self.
