What's special about Cassandra? Absolutely nothing. She's as ordinary as any other fifth grader. And yet her ordinary life is riddled with hilarious and sometimes heart-breaking mishaps as she guides herself through the world of preteens on the brink of adulthood.

Cassandra is excited to celebrate her 11th birthday with her new friends from Arkansas. But when her party falls on the same day as another, more popular girl, she realizes that the people she thought were her friends might not be.

Will anyone show up to celebrate her birthday with her? Or will Cassie be on her own?
