Synopsis :

From the award-winning author of A Good Kind of Trouble, Lisa Moore Ramée, comes a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age middle grade novel, in the vein of Judy Blume, about friendship, fitting in, and the ups and downs of middle school. Sure to resonate with fans of Rebecca Stead, Meg Medina, and Kelly Yang. Now in paperback!

Eleven-year-old Kylie’s friends seem so much more mature than she is. And with middle school just a summer away, she’s worried about navigating friendships and being left behind, especially because she keeps embarrassing them.

So Kylie applies her scientific brain to solve the problem and comes up with the Everybody Experiment:

Hypothesis: Kylie Stanton will be mature if she does what everybody else does.

Experiment: This summer, when all of Kylie’s friends do something, she will do it too.

Suddenly it’s a whole new grown-up world for Kylie, with parties, unsupervised excursions, and boys. But the more research Kylie puts into the Everybody Experiment, the more she begins to wonder how she can do what everybody else does . . . without letting go of herself.

Praise for The Everybody Experiment:

"Kylie is an endearing, relatable protagonist readers will root for...heartwarming and empowering." —Kirkus Reviews

"A meaningful and methodological story of friendship, family, and finding one’s own voice." —The Horn Book

"Ramée’s middle grade novel is well paced, traversing Kylie’s summer with ease and dipping the reader into pivotal moments." —ALA Booklist

• The Everybody Experiment: When Kylie applies her scientific mind to the problem of fitting in, her hypothesis is simple: just do what everybody else does. But the results are more complicated than she ever imagined.
• Peer Pressure: From parties to boy-talk, Kylie’s summer is suddenly a grown-up world of new experiences. But following the crowd means she might be losing the person who matters most―herself.
• Finding Your Voice: A heartfelt and hilarious story about embracing who you are, even when you feel like a "human water fountain," and learning that true friends don’t ask you to change.
• Summer Before Middle School: Perfect for readers who know the anxiety and excitement of leaving elementary school behind and facing the great unknown of seventh grade.
