Curveball : the Year I Lost My Grip (9780545393119) (2012)
“You’ll walk down the hallway and all your boys will give you high fives. Hot girls from the other middle schools will check you out as they whisper and giggle behind their hands. The teachers will immediately notice your incredible brilliance. The coaches will seek you out and invite you to try out for their teams, although they also tell you that, for you, the tryout is just a formality. If you get lost or something, you’ll be guided to class by some of the friendly and nurturing upperclassmen....
I’m here to tell you, my introduction to ninth grade wasn’t quite that good. First of all, I kept getting jostled and banged around in the halls, so my bad arm (that’s how I thought of it now) felt like someone was stirring it around in a vat of ground glass. Second, I got lost over and over again, but nobody came jogging over to rescue me. At one point, I asked a girl who looked like she would know her way around, and she and her friends made a whole big deal out of teasing me: Ooh, look at the cute little furr-reshmannnnnn!MoreLess
