Description: Thirteen-year-old Madison Parker, Mad for short, is looking forward to a summer of riding, reading, and rotting...the three R's. She has just completed eighth grade with a feather in her cap: she has effectively become invisible to classmates, teachers, strangers. But when you are a Parker and your mother is an attorney working for the Justice Department and your grandmother is the powerful chair of the Senate Finance Committee, it is hard to stay invisible for long -- even with the very best of intentions. By effortlessly weaving political activism, riding, Scottish dance, and a contemporary Vermont setting into an unforgettable coming-of-age story, Jessie Haas has written her most compelling and confident novel to date.
