Bridget Jones comes to YA in a story about a girl who's a bit of a mess and sandwiched between two seemingly perfect sisters, that fans of Morgan Matson and Jenny Han will love.

"That girl is such a mess." "Why can't she be like her sisters?"Blah, blah, blah. That's all Mia Campbell-Richardson ever hears. From her parents, her teachers, and her never-do-wrong older sister, Grace. So what if she parties too hard and studies too little? Who cares if she tends to end up with the wrong guys or says the wrong things at the wrong times? She's still a good friend (except when she isn't). And she still knows the way things should go (except when they don't).When Grace comes home with shocking news, Mia hopes that it's finally Grace's turn to get into trouble. But instead it's Mia whose life spirals out of control.So if you've ever said something you later regretted (likely), accidentally broken a friend's heart (possibly), or ruined a wedding in spectacular fashion (hopefully you haven't), All About Mia will make you laugh, cry, cry-laugh, and laugh-cry in recognition that life is sometimes most entertaining when it's at its most unfair.

Reviews

Praise and Accolades for The Art of Being Normal:Winner of the Waterstones Best Older Fiction Children's Book PrizeShortlisted for the YA Book PrizeNominated for the Carnegie Medal"A life-changing and life-saving book." -- Philip Pullman"A sensational, heart-warming and life-affirming debut. Lisa Williamson writes witty, charming characters you can't help but root for." -- Juno Dawson"A fresh perspective in contemporary LGBTQ drama... A wonderful addition to any teen collection." -- Voice of Youth Advocates"An important addition to collections for its first-person perspectives on the experiences and inner lives of transgender teens." -- School Library Journal"Williamson has worked with teens grappling with their gender identities, and she folds practive information, about hormonal therapy to freeze puberty, for instance, as well as empathy into her story. A welcome, needed novel." -- Kirkus Reviews"Debut author Williamson does a good job depicting British class realities and David and Leo's struggles with family, bullying, friendship, and bravery. While the book doesn't sugarcoat the difficulty of being a trans teen, it offers hope and the sense that even if you can't get everything you want, you can get what you need." -- Publishers Weekly"Memorable and thought-provoking." -- The Guardian (UK) Expand reviews
