Description: Her dad's death brought big changes in Julie Talbott's life: it meant missing him, moving to another state, starting over in a new school and making new friends. Julie felt so shy that some of her classmates thought she was a snob. They hadn't guessed how much Julie wanted to start dating . . . especially cute Eric Ford. When Julie launched a campaign to get boys to notice her, she stirred up some unexpected reactions. She found that being popular has its problems as well as its pleasures. [text from book jacket]
