Mia the Meek (Mia Fullerton #1)
by Eileen BoggessNovel About A Common Teen Concern: Shyness Mia the Meek, the first installment in the Mia Fullerton series, is a tweener/teenage comedy about a 14-year-old girl, Mia, who resolves to cease her meek and timid ways once she enters high school, and then encounters unexpected hurdles when she overcompensates for her previous weaknesses. Poised to begin her freshman year at St. Hilary’s High School, Mia Fullerton has set two goals for herself: first and foremost, to shed her long-held nickname of “Mia the Meek,” and then to soar confidently into a new social, academic, and family life. Unfortunately, her transformation is made all the harder by any number of factors, including her bratty little brother, and her own tendency to overdo things. The week before school starts, Mia wakes up to discover new neighbors have moved in next door. Forced by her mother to take them her special chocolate chip cookies, the very shy Mia encounters Tim, the family’s handsome yet seemingly arrogant oldest son. The Mia-Tim relationship that develops seems to be all about competition--everything from literature to the basketball court. School begins, and Mia immediately meets with all sorts of additional, unexpected challenges. Her new locker is right next to that of her arch-enemy, the ever-popular Cassie. In science lab, Mia’s paired with Tim, with whom she constantly bickers. Her mom, who, to make a point, willingly tells her students about little Mia in diapers, becomes her very own English teacher. And, before she knows it, Mia's best friend nominates her for class president. What’s worse, she’s running against Cassie! But when she learns that her crush, Jake Harris, has seconded her nomination, Mia agrees to run. After all, she reasons, what better way to emerge from her shell? As the year goes on, Mia’s misadventures multiply, as do her successes. She becomes class president--with the help of an improvised speech and an unconventional catch phrase. She begins to date Jake Harris. She helps lead her team in the Academic Quiz Bowl. And she tries to balance her new friends with her old ones. In the end, Mia emerges a far different person than when she set out, though it isn’t the person she had imagined that first day at St. Hilary’s. She’s a “Mia in progress,” learning from her mistakes and humorous successes, and welcoming her future. In Mia, author Eileen Boggess has created the best kind of modern female role model--the kind who sees most of her flaws and wants to change them; one who’s not only intelligent but athletic; and one who, while struggling with all the problems of girls her age, is valiantly trying to find her way through a very awkward time of life. Look for Mia the Melodramatic and additional books in the Mia series.
Mia the Melodramatic (Mia Fullerton #2)
by Eileen BoggessYoung Adult Fiction, Humor, Action Summer has finally arrived, but Mia Fullerton doesn’t have much to celebrate. Her best friend, Lisa, is spending the summer at a Mensa camp, and her boyfriend, Tim, will be at his grandparents’ house in Maine. So, stuck with a choice of spending the next two months hanging out with her younger brother, Chris--who has declared a prank war on her--or taking a job on the stage crew at a local children’s theater group, Mia chooses the lesser of two evils and begins working at Little Tyke’s. The moment she meets the other student members of the stage crew, Mia realizes she’s not at St. Hilary’s anymore. There’s Zoe, a Goth punk rock singer with fifteen facial piercings; Henry, a caffeine addict with the self-declared ability to predict people’s coffee preferences; and Eric, a former childhood friend who’s definitely outgrown his shy ways and geeky appearance. At first, Mia’s mortified when she’s forced to perform for audiences dressed as Playtime Pal--the clown who introduces the plays--or be a last-second stand-in for a kid who’s just tossed his cookies on stage (after she has cleaned it up, of course) or is abruptly hauled off for a family vacation. But as the summer progresses, Mia realizes something very strange--she actually enjoys acting! As Mia begins to explore this less meek version of her former self, Tim does something that destroys her trust in him and shatters her heart. This act of betrayal ultimately sends Mia into the arms of the easy-going, Adonis-like, and very willing Eric. And when the summer comes to an end, bringing Tim back into her Des Moines, Iowa life, Mia has a tough decision to make: Should she return to Tim and her former shy ways, or should she continue to let this new Mia grab some of her own? In this sequel to the much-loved Mia the Meek, readers will again enjoy spending time with Mia Fullerton, watching as she navigates the next stage of adolescence, one humorous and memorable fiasco at a time. Mia the Meek, the first book in the Mia Fullerton series is in the Bookshare library.
