When Phoebe gets onto the junior debating team with straight-A
student Jagath, she’s kind of nervous. But at least she has an excuse
to hang out with her secret crush!
Phoebe thought her dad would be glad she made the debating team,
but for some reason he doesn’t like her spending time with Jagath at
all.
Standing up in front of a class is embarrassing – until you’re standing
up for yourself and everything you believe in.

Girl vs. the World is a fun, true-to-life series about navigating high school, first crushes, and the ups and downs of adolescence.

Phoebe’s grades aren’t exactly perfect, so she thinks it must be a mistake when she’s invited to join the debating team. Everyone else seems to know exactly what they’re doing, and Phoebe doesn’t have a clue! But how can she quit when it would disappoint her teammates – including the super-smart, crazy-cute team captain, Jagath?

Refreshingly honest and deliciously heartwarming,  this series is perfect for readers aged 10 to 13.
