About this deal

Book is written for middle school readers so fun and easy to read with nice short chapters and a plot that keeps things moving! I don’t know a girl in the world who won’t identify with Jessica and her attempts to navigate friendships – it’s that real. She published two new books in 2020: TRUE TO YOUR SELFIE (MG, Scholastic) and THE MALL (YA, Wednesday Books).

This latest installment in the perils of Pineville Junior High can be described in just the same way as describing its title character: hilarious, sweet, and smart.There are things that Jessica thinks and feels that brought me back to that time in my life where friendships were constantly growing, changing, or completely disappearing.

I could see how Dori and Bridget might envy Manda’s persuasive personality or Sara’s all-knowingness. Enter older sister Bethany and her “It List,” meant to help Jessica uphold “The Darling Domination of Popularity. Crazy teachers; best friends turning pretty overnight; "The Unbreakable Laws of Cafeteria Line Cutting". This book takes you back to the seventh grade year of Jessica Darling and introduces you to all of the major players in the original series. Brief characterizations of teachers and students are often humorously spot-on, and rules, such as those for cutting lines, fully capture the junior high social scene in all its often distressing ignominy.Don't get me wrong, I loved Marcus in this, but I feel like he was just there because what's a Jessica Darling book without Marcus Flutie? New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty’s It List series introduces readers to Jessica Darling, an unabashedly brainy seventh grader who tries to stay true to herself, even if it means being (totally not) cool. They're cautious around each other, sizing each other up and taking time to really choose each other as friends.

There is an encounter with a male goose that had me belly laughing so hard I had to set down the book.In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Here, Jessica is attempting to navigate junior high with help from her older sister's guide to being on the IT list.

Still, as I said up above, altogether this was an enjoyable, albeit ridiculously quick read for someone my age. In Jessica Darling's It List 3, Jessica faces the potentially mortifying outcome of the Top Secret Pineville Junior High Crushability Test. Described in her first review as “Judy Blume meets Dorothy Parker” (Wall Street Journal), she’s been trying to live up to that high standard ever since. Jessica's not really interested in clothes; she's certainly not interested in boys, doesn't even know who's in the "in clique," and has never done a "cheer" in her life. When I got the opportunity to read and review her new prequel middle grade series I jumped at the chance and I am so happy that I did.I love that while she falls into the trap a bit about trying to become popular she ends up staying true to herself. Then there's the budding friendship between Hope and Jessica, who any readers of the original series know will be besties eventually, bonded by their judgment of everyone else's stupidity and ridiculous social rituals.
