Review Quotes
PRAISE FOR 11 BEFORE 12: "Omigosh, I LOVE Lisa Greenwald's new book. Brilliant, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and heartbreaking (in a good way), 11 BEFORE 12 is probably the best middle school friendship ever!" -- Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of the Winnie Years and Wishing Day series
"The voice of a tween dealing with the pressures of adolescence is authentic, and this book will entice those who want to read about a relatable, funny young woman." -- School Library Journal
"Kaylan's first-person voice perfectly captures the horrors of starting at a new school, from the prospect of eating alone in the cafeteria to the awkwardness of meeting a new neighbor boy." -- Kirkus Reviews
