Margaret Simon, almost twelve, has just moved from New York City to the suburbs, and shes anxious to fit in with her new friends.

When shes asked to join a secret club she jumps at the chance.

But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if shes normal.

There are some things about growing up that are hard for her to talk about, even with her friends.

Lucky for Margaret, shes got someone else to confide in . . . someone who always listens.
