Jojo vs. Middle School

Despite her careful planning, eleven-year-old Jojo's first day of middle school unravels after an outfit mishap, caused by her cat-fluencer stepdad's new kitten, but as she tries hiding her embarrassment, she finds solace in new friends.

Description

Jojo vs. Middle School follows Jojo, who has everything planned out for the perfect first day of middle school, down to her outfit and hairstyle. But when her mum, distracted by her new live-in boyfriend, Paul, forgets to wake her up, Jojo oversleeps and has to make do with leggings, a t-shirt, and her brother’s hoodie.

The day is still going okay until Jojo realises she has a hole in her leggings thanks to Purrito, the kitten Paul "gifted" her. Because Paul isn’t just any Paul; he’s Mr. Meow, a mega-famous cat-fluencer. Nearly everything in Jojo’s life is now cat-themed—including the underwear that the hole in her leggings is now showcasing to the whole school!

Embarrassed and unable to show her face in the cafeteria, Jojo spends her lunch period in an abandoned locker room. But she isn’t the only one hiding to cope with some major awkwardness. Maybe, with friends by her side, middle school won’t be so bad after all.
