Her eleventh birthday. Fifth-grade graduation. The end of elementary school! There's also the end-of-year overnight camping trip, and she can't wait to practice her science skills. Additionally, Abby suspects she’s probably going to get her period any day now. But after a few false alarms, she's not quite so sure. Can Abby navigate new emotions, friendship dynamics, and her changing body—all while figuring out what kind of person she wants to be?
