News and Reviews
"The punchy visuals and the sharp, funny details reel in the audience and don't let go."
- Publishers Weekly
"The story combines honesty and humor to create a believable and appealing voice. Not quite a graphic novel but not a traditional narrative either, Holm's creative book should hook readers, especially girls who want something out of the ordinary."
- School Library Journal
"A scrapbook of candy wrappers, instant messages, postcards and receipts helps to convey the story of Ginny Davis' middle school trials. Middle School Is Worse than Meatloaf is at the same time both comical and insightful. Ginny writes haikus about meatloaf and an essay about her father's death."

inny has ten items on her big to-do list for seventh grade. None of them, however, include accidentally turning her hair pink. Or getting sent to detention for throwing frogs in class.
