If everything that can go wrong, does go wrong on your first day in a new middle school, imagine how bad the rest of the year is going to be. Marigold’s first day at Crampton Middle School is February 23 and her mother, Becca, is positive it’s Pajama Day. So, Mari is standing outside homeroom in yellow flannel monkey pajamas. The only problem is that it is not pajama day and her mother refuses to let her go home to change and she won’t bring a change of clothes. So, Mari’s only other option is to pick clothes from the nurse’s office: seventies pants and pink polka dot top. Things can’t get worse, yet they do.
Becca is a free spirit performance artist who walks dogs to make ends meet. It seems there are two things she loves, performing and embarrassing Mari, and she excels at both.
If you want to see how embarrassing Mari’s life can get, then read Trauma Queen by Barbara Dee. It’s fun and it’s funny. You’ll be glad your mom’s not Becca…or will you? For my full review, click here.
