Star Crowley goes to Idyll High on a mission: do things differently than she did in middle school. Also, make a friend. Beyond that, she’s just happy to not get sent to the principal’s office. First week of school, she makes a friend. (She’s well on her way to accomplishing great things!) Then, she meets the oddest teacher of her life, and she’s afraid everything is going to unravel. She wonders why he acts the way he does, why he speaks and belittles people the way he does. Before she can get out of her own way, she knows she’s doomed to repeat her middle school mistakes. The only difference this time? She has a friend to help her through the mess that will inevitably become high school.
