I Want Everybody to Love Me Holly E Jones

The next chapter of the coming-of-age throwback "I Want Everybody To Like Me" takes you back to 1992 when scrunchies were everywhere and the biggest deal of the day was the battle over who's hogging the cordless phone. This time, small-town eighth-grader Violet Karchefski is at it again, busting through boundaries with boys and best friends. Held together by the universal languages of love and music, her world gets rocked by the most annoying boy in the eighth grade, the cutest guy in high school, and a buffed-out bass player from a private school. She's sneaking out and spinning stories to save herself from social suicide. From the eighth-grade lock-in to an orchestra tour of Japan, Violet has a lot to juggle if she's going to make it out of middle school with more than just her musical talents intact.
