As Cassie enters her last year at Walker Elementary, she's pretty sure she has it made. She has a best friend (finally!), excellent grades, and everything she needs to rule the school. Things unravel fast, however, when she forgets her homework the very first week of school. As if that weren't enough, her best friend soon ditches her, leaving Cassie feeling just as lost as when she moved in. And then she offends a boy in the neighboring class, and he turns the whole grade against her. Will Cassie make it through her sixth grade year?

What's special about Cassandra? Absolutely nothing. She's as ordinary as any other fifth grader. And yet her ordinary life is riddled with hilarious and sometimes heart-breaking mishaps as she guides herself through the world of pre-teens on the brink of adulthood. She's the new girl at school, uprooted from her beloved state of Texas and relocated to the hillbilly Ozarks of Springdale, Arkansas. She tries to hold it together as she weathers stubborn parents, vicious dog attacks, and petty cat fights.

This book started as an experiment, to change the face of one's life and to rescue its author from a negativity, which can only be described as misery. What the author found difficult was life itself, what does this all mean? Life, in many ways can be utterly punishing, totally insane and under-deserved. What we must recognize is that there is a pathway towards redemption, but, we will not find it out of context, we will find it moving towards context, the context of one's life.
