Awkward is about a middle schooler named Pepi Torres. She has three cardinal rules for
surviving middle school. On her first day as the new kid at Berrybrook Middle School, she
makes a mistake that haunts her for the next few months. When she has to get science
tutoring with a boy that she can barely talk to, she must face her fears and break the awkward
silence, I like this book because it is relatable to middle schoolers. My favorite part is when Pepi
accidentally turns her art homework in to her science teacher. I would recommend this book to
6th graders.
