Description: Vintage fiction from the queen of teen publishing, just in time for summer reading! Getting to be thirteen turned out to be an absolute and complete anticlimax. I mean it. What a letdown. You wouldn't believe the years I wasted dreaming about how everything was going to be once I was a teenager. The way I pictured it, everything was going to be fantastic. Overnight, people would stop treating me like some silly little kid. Ha! Before the Wakefield twins, before Gaia Moore, Francine Pascal created Victoria Martin, an irrepressible, savvy teen poised to chart a course for full-on adolescence. In My Mother Was Never a Kid, thirteen-year-old Victoria is frustrated by her overprotective mother. One strange day she meets Cici, who is fun-loving and oddly familiar. But why? In My First Love and Other Disasters, Victoria is set to spend the summer as an au pair on Fire Island. Her major crush is going to be there too, and she's determined to snag him--if work doesn't get in the way! And in Love & Betrayal & Hold the Mayo, what seemed like an amazing summer working at a sleepaway camp is stymied by ramshackle living quarters and slave-driving superiors. But it's when Victoria falls for her best friend's guy that she realizes that summer love is not always all it's cracked up to be! The timelessness of these hilarious stories is a testament to the teen age.
