WHY WON'T MY BOOBS GROW
...AND OTHER ANNOYANCES
“Hi.” Suddenly, I’m very aware of my arms. What do I do with them? Why are they hanging like that?
Emma Bishop can’t catch a break. After she wakes up the morning of her big class presentation with a massive zit (please don’t say pimple), she’s sure her life is over.
Emma is also dealing with all the problems of a typical fourteen-year-old girl: a crush who doesn’t notice her, an embarrassing mom, and a changing body she doesn’t quite understand.
Luckily, her best friends, Ruby and Cher, are by her side for fun sleepovers, dealing with bullies, and surviving embarrassing interactions with cute boys.
When Connor, the boy Emma is crushing on, starts noticing her, Emma is thrilled… but also confused. Is he going to kiss her? Why is Cher acting so weird? Will Mom stop asking a thousand questions? And, are her boobs ever going to grow?
Why Won’t My Boobs Grow…and Other Annoyances is the first book in the Emma Bishop series exploring the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all–and isn’t going to leave a detail out.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING...
