Turning eleven means it's time to do a lot of things. But, winning Student of the Month for the fifth or sixth time doesn't matter as much as making a new friend or having a crush on the beautiful new boy in town. It also means it's finally time to understand why your cool-dude dad is in a wheelchair, why he had to quit his job, and what you can do to fix him. But she's about to find out the truth is big and complicated--even for an A plus plus student like herself.
