Leah vs. Art - Hardcover
by Joy McCullough (Author), Veeda Bybee (Author)
Leah's ambitious extracurricular plans cause trouble in this second book in the Team Awkward middle grade series that's The Baby-Sitters Club meets Dork Diaries.
How organized, driven Leah was born into her family, she'll never know. They're as different as can be. For example, while she's trying to finish unpacking boxes from their move and get to bed at a decent time, her parents are listening to indie rock records and eating ice cream sundaes. Sometimes it feels like she's the only responsible one in the house! So when her parents sign her up for art club--to "loosen her up" and "get her creative juices flowing"--Leah decides to ditch in favor of Quiz Bowl, which meets at the same time. But as she secretly attends Quiz Bowl and lies to her parents, her competitive spirit begins to take over, threatening her scheme and her friendships.Joy McCullough writes books and plays from her home in the Seattle area, where she lives with her husband and two children.
