The good news is the gang's all here at Rose Valley High: her best friends Greg and Roz as well as her greatest frenemies Charlie and Gigi. The bad news is the old gang isn't acting quite the same in their new environment. Charlie acts like a bully when he isn't simply acting strangely around Jinx. However, a new school means new rules, such as no co-ed teams, which means she can't even play ball with the boys who were in little league with her. As rules and relationships become more complicated, one thing remains the same: Jinx means bad luck to anyone who gets in the way of her getting her way! This outstanding graphic novel is a bright, full-hearted coming of age story told with great humor, charm and compassion.
