Mission (Un)Popular

Margot Button has a resolution for seventh grade: Be more normal.

Easier said than done. But, if Margot can learn to control her big mouth (and hair), there is hope. The new girl, Em, from New York, needs a friend too, now that the popular girls have decided she's "weird." More accurately, Em is "intimidating." She dresses like a rock star and doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks of her—especially popular girl, Sarah J. Em has an agenda for change at Manning Middle School and wants Margot on her side.

But Em's secret campaign to turn the tables on the popular girls may involve bending some laws. After years of enduring Sarah J.'s bullying, Margot finds it hard to resist. Her approval rating is finally up—and, it couldn't hurt to take Sarah down a few notches...could it?

Endearingly imperfect and relatable, Margot Button is irresistible in this novel about friendship, bullies, and the ups and downs of being in middle school.
