After having hilariously terrible first days of sixth grade, four girls vow to ride out the super highs and cringe-worthy lows of middle school together, no matter how awkward it gets, in this first book in the Team Awkward middle grade series. < BR> < BR> Jojo has everything planned out for the perfect first day of middle school, down to her outfit and hairstyle. But when Mom, distracted by her new live-in boyfriend, Paul, forgets to wake Jojo up, she oversleeps and has to make do with leggings, a t-shirt, and her brother’ s hoodie. < BR> < BR> The day still goes okay until Jojo realizes that she has a hole in her leggings thanks to Purrito, the kitten Paul “ gifted” her. Because Paul isn’ t just 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! < BR> < BR> 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.
