    About Camille McPhee Fell Under the Bus

    From the author of the Project (Un)Popular series and Too Cool For This School, a fun middle school story about a girl determined to make the best of any situation.

    Imagine being Camille McPhee. She has low blood sugar, so she carries extra food in a cooler. Would you want to do that?

    Didn’t think so.

    And you wouldn’t want to fall under the school bus. That happened to Camille too!
    Her cat, Checkers, is lost. And her best friend, Sally, moved to Japan.

    It would be hard to stay optimistic, right? But Camille is what her mom calls HOPEFUL. Because really? There are plenty of things to be positive about:

    gifted reading
    a nonsqueaky mattress
    eating banned foods
    the big blue butterfly

    Even making a new friend. Imagine that!

    “This book about friendship and loss kindly teaches that life is pretty much what one is willing to make of it.” —School Library Journal, starred review

    “[A] touching debut.” —Kirkus Reviews

    Praise

    “The lively, first-person narrative moves readers through possibly banal or overly traumatic episodes with a gentleness and humor that has them rooting for Camille. This book about friendship and loss kindly teaches that life is pretty much what one is willing to make of it.” —School Library Journal, starred review

    “Camille’s a survivor, ‘born with the power to bounce back,’ which she does with surprising panache and hope in this touching debut.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Middle-grade readers will enjoy the insider’s viewpoint, the blend of farce and sorrow, and the ending, which brings no neat resolution, just a yearning for a world that feels ‘a little more fair.'” —Booklist

    “Readers will enjoy the many antics that occur throughout this story. . . . This is an excellent book that can be used to engage reluctant readers.” –Children’s Literature
