Untitled Barbara Carroll Roberts

Barbara Carroll Roberts is a graduate of Hamline University's Writing for Children and Young Adults MFA program. She played competitive sports in high school and always wished there had been books in her library about athletic girls. That desire -- and the realization that there still aren't many books about girls who truly love sports -- inspired her to write this book. She lives outside of Washington, D.C. with her family and their many pets. This is her first novel. You can visit her at barbaracarrollroberts.com.

After pulling a prank on the very last day of sixth grade, twelveyear-old Bunny Bentley is forced to attend summer school, which is just the latest in a long line of annoying things trying to ruin her life. Not only will she be forced to sit in a classroom for half the summer, but her archenemy (and former bully) Doug Overholt has just moved in next door, and her older sister no longer has any time to spend with her. Add in an identity crisis and a desire to reconnect with her birth mother, and Bunny's in for one wild summer.
