How you couldn't believe seeing squirrels and rabbits running around your cabin? How you swear you could hear the bears walking in the woods while you were trying to sleep? It's all here, brought to life by some of the nicest art I've seen in years.

Fifth-grade Mean Girls memoir. This book was slightly painful to read, but only because it rang so true and close to my heart. A moving and funny exploration of the complications of trying to remain your true, weird, individual self even in the face of elementary schoolgirl groupthink. As always, Shannon Hale nails it.
