PRAISE FOR ADDIE BELL’S SHORTCUT TO GROWING UP:

“Addie’s attempts to understand the confusing landscape of high school create plenty of funny moments, but the experience is more often stressful for this sympathetic heroine. Writing with humor and sensitivity, Brody (the Unremembered trilogy) offers a fresh take on the age-old theme of being careful what you wish for.”
– Publisher’s Weekly

“This lightweight, fun romp points out that big changes (some of them unfortunate) can come from small choices thoughtlessly made, and that being yourself with your equally uncool best friend is a lot better than being popular all by yourself. Also revealed: dorky seventh grade boys can actually grow up to be date-worthy! VERDICT A solid purchase for secondary libraries; hand to readers looking for best-friend stories with a hint of romance.”
– School Library Journal

“Addie’s sorting out of choices by her younger self is done with a light touch, and readers will be satisfied with the outcome. Warm acknowledgment of the value of keeping true, longtime friends.”
– Kirkus

“I (heart Emoji) this book!  Addie Bell is a smart, sweet, hilarious heroine.  Her magical adventures will keep you in giggles.”
– Leslie Margolis, author of Girl’s Best Friend, If I Were You, and We are Party People
