Julie Tells Her Story

The theme of the divorce is still predominant throughout this story. Julie has to do a class project about her life and the lives of her relatives near her, and she doesn't want to discuss the divorce as part of the Worse Thing Ever to happen.

She plays a major basketball game and is fouled often by a boy on the other team, but the refs don't call most of the fouls. In the end he hits her so hard she is knocked to the floor and breaks her finger.

Julie also has to care for her sister's plant, and things go wrong there, too. In the end, though, things generally work out fairly well for her.

The historical section concerns schools in the 1970's, and how they are different from schools today, the main difference being in the technology available to the students.

It's a fairly good second book in the series.
