Synopsis: "EVERY parent, student, educator, and anyone else who works with children should read this book!" If you knew her story, would it change the way you see her? If you knew her pain, would you care? Walk a mile in the shoes of a silently suffering child with this book written by an experienced educator who has worked with hundreds of at-risk children. Written in what readers have called a "stunningly beautiful" and "incredibly entertaining" style, this fictional tale is based on the real-life experiences of the children who inspired it. What's it about? Take a journey through a day in the life of Randi Lewis, a middle schooler with a traumatic past, as she tries to navigate the challenges of the first day of seventh grade while secretly coping with hunger, abuse, and neglect. After a tumultuous sixth-grade year, she's determined to shrug off her pain and bad reputation to make this the first day of a brighter future. But will she be able to work through the stress of the middle school minefield and a difficult and dangerous home life without letting anyone in on the secret pains she tries to hide, or is she bound for an even worse year than before?
