1997. Nelly knows exactly who she is: a skinny, brainy 13-year-old. But that's before she develops a crush on young Prince William. And it's definitely before she meets the oddly attractive Max Minsky, her one hope for making the basketball team before it heads off to Eton and she’s virtually thrown into the prince’s arms. Meanwhile, her parents are stressing her out, as is her looming bat mitzvah.
Readers will relate to this prize-winning, funny, heartfelt tale of a determined teen as she makes surprising discoveries about life, loss, love, and faith.
