Publisher's Summary:
Wilhelmina Shisbey is unlucky number thirteen.... She's the thirteenth person in the world to be documented with H-SAM, (highly superior autographical memory). For Willa, every day of her loser life is as vivid as the last, beginning with the moment her birth mother dumped her off at the Children's Home Society, one day after her first birthday.
But Willa's reality only grows worse when her adoptive family moves from a Chicago suburb to Huntington Beach, California, where Willa continues to struggle as a perpetual outsider. That is, until her luck changes when she befriends the super-smart Marley Applegate, editor of the troubled school paper, and intentional under-achiever Cody Cassidy, who also happens to be the hottest boy at Triton Middle School.
Surviving the mine field that is middle school is a full-time job. But when a new student arrives on campus - a boy with cerebral palsy who sits in a wheelchair - it's up to Willa to convince her classmates that it just might be cool to be kind, and that just because you don't fit in, it doesn't mean you don't belong.

Nerdy--No way!!! Willa is the girl that EVERYONE does, or should, want to be like!
Willa is an absolute sweetheart of a girl! You don't have to be the prettiest or most popular girl in the school, to be like Willa. Everyone knows that it's the measure of the heartfelt caring and sharing, empathy, love, and compassion, for the people around you--for family and friends, and potential friends-to-be, that are a mark of a truly great human being, and real, deep down, all-of-the-way-through "beauty. I'd rather have one Willa for my friend, than a thousand "pretty," narcissistic, bratty, "popular" rich brats for friends. True friends lift you up when you're feeling down, they'll share the last of their last French Fries, or loan you the coat off of their back when you get cold. If you're hurt, they're right beside you holding your hand, easing your pain. They give you moral support when it feels like your world is at an end, hugs just "because," you need them, and understanding when you least deserve or expect it. They're a lifelong, constant source of friendship, courage, strength, humor and laughter, shenanigans, and a little bit of everything else that makes one's life worthwhile, during good times and bad, and all of the in-between stuff. One good, true, wonderful friend like Willa or Marley, is worth their weight in gold! And sometimes, you're lucky enough during your lifetime, to find that special person, who sets the bar so high, that everyone wants to be her, or be like her. Ultimately, it's not what you see on the outside that's important, but what's on the inside, that defines a real, true friend.
If you have wondered how to teach your children, adolescent, or someone else you know that could use them, morals, then gifting them this book is a mighty fine place to start in teaching them the basics!
Thanks, Linda Rey, for another beautifully written book about teen angst, friendship, and being the very best possible people that we can be, regardless of gender, color, or disabilities! It's been an absolute pleasure going on yet another charming, sweet, journey with Willa.
