During the school day, fifth-grader Allie West is an outsider. Everyone knows the principal' s kid might tattle to her mother! But after school, Allie is an insider. She' s friendly with the janitor, knows the shortest routes around the building, and hangs out with the Afters, a group of misfits whose parents are teachers at their school. Although Allie secretly loves her insider life, she' s sick of being an outsider - so she vows to join the Pentagon, the popular math team led by her ex best friend. But can Allie change her status without betraying where she really belongs? AGES: 8 to 12 AUTHOR: Robin Mellom really was a principal' s kid, and many of the events in Confessions from the Principal' s Kid happened to her. She is the author of two middle-grade series, The Classroom and The Pages Between Us. She has taught middle school and has a master' s degree in education.
"Sincere, unpretentious, and sometimes witty, Allie' s first- person narrative will have broad appeal for the many kids who feel like outsiders at school, as well as those who are navigating the sometimes choppy waters of friendship. " -Booklist "Allie makes mistakes but takes things in stride; her cleareyed, first-person narration makes the story, and she' s very easy to sympathize with . . . Readers will feel they' d be lucky to have Allie as their best friend. " -Kirkus "Give to elementary-age readers looking for gentle realism. " -SLJ ". . . Readers who' ve ever pondered what goes on in the school building when students are not around may enjoy a sympathetic look at the kids who remain in lockdown after the dismissal bell rings.
