Jessica Darling is getting the hang of seventh grade -- finally! While her old BFF, Bridget, is busy talking (nonstop) about her new boyfriend, Burke, Jessica tries to fit in with her new friends, Sara, Manda, and Hope. The IT List instructions from her sister, Bethany, and an epic slumber party may help Jessica secure her spot in the cool clique, but does she even want it?

Megan McCafferty's It List series introduces readers to Jessica Darling, an unabashedly brainy seventh grader who stays true to herself, even if it means being (totally not) cool.

Why I'm Waiting

•  Jessica Darling is one of my favorite characters ever. I loved reading about Jessica during her older teen years and as an adult. Jessica as a pre-teen is just as funny.
• I'm reading this series with my niece who is the same age/grade as Jessica. I hope that she will love this series as much as I do. 
• I want to know more about Jessica's friendship with Hope. It was just beginning in book 1.
• "An epic slumber party" - 7th grade slumber parties can make or break you!

There isn't an official synopsis yet,  but I couldn't contain my excitement and just had to share this asap! Megan McCafferty has given us a little bit info on her website from her post New Year, New Book. Jessica and Marcus and Hope in junior high. It's going to be a ton of fun. I just know it!

Update!!

(from Amazon)

Jessica Darling wasn't nervous about starting Pineville Junior High. That is, until her older sister, Bethany, told her that entering seventh grade means that everything will change. Hoping to continue the "Darling Domination of Popularity," Bethany presents Jessica with The IT List: The Guaranteed Guide to Popularity, Prettiness & Perfection.

But even armed with her instructions, Jessica stumbles her way through the start of the school year and inadvertently becomes Pineville Junior High's mascot, the mighty New Jersey seagull. Totally not the type of attention-getting her sister had in mind.

New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty's hilarious series opener will have you laughing, cringing, and cheering for the inimitable Jessica Darling.
