A girl returns to middle school after being absent for a few years for cancer treatment. Her doctors wanted her to stay away for a little longer to complete her recovery. Her hair has still not grown back yet. Her body has not matured like that of many of her friends. However, she is ahead of her grade for a few classes due to tutoring that she had, and thus will be in 8th grade math and science. This is a perfect recipe for middle school drama.
Things get off to an interesting start. One long time friend has turned into a flirt and is hanging out with a lot of other kids. She starts to fall for a new boy that she meets in an 8th grade class. She feels the need to pretend to be an 8th grader for him. Her parents don't want her to do after school activities to protect her from germs. She eventually struggles through challenges with the help of Greek Mythology and pomegranates.
