The Pain, My Mother, Sir Tiffy, Cyber Boy & Me

It really all started with The Pain. He officially came into my life exactly nine weeks and one day before our Year Ten Graduation Dance. And despite my very best efforts to wipe the day from my mind, I can still remember it clearly. It was a Friday. The thirteenth day of the month. Notice anything there?

Maggie Butt is facing not only a stranger taking over her mother's life but her own as well, and she is not going to let that happen. But then there's the one-eyed snaggle-toothed cat, senior subject choices, the dream date, and Cyber Boy, the geek in the library to contend with as well.

It's going to be an interesting year.

The Pain, My Mother, Sir Tiffy, Cyber Boy & Me by Michael Gerard Bauer offers a humorous and heartfelt look at a year in the life of a girl determined to manage the chaos.
