|  | | Access Denied (and other eighth grade error messages)
The Year of Humiliating Events (aka, seventh grade) is behind her and Erin Swift is ready to rule the school. But eighth grade comes with its own set of problems for Erin to navigate, including her first boyfriend, her first break-up, and the fact that her mom has been treating her more like an eight-year- old than an eighth grader. Even worse, there's a new girl who is determined to remake Erin in her bad-girl image, and former crush Mark "Cute Boy" Sacks has been acting strange lately.
But as Erin's school year once again hurtles toward disaster, a personal tragedy forces her to realize that things - and people - aren't always as bad as they seem. Can she save what's left of eighth grade before it's too late?

Erin Swift learns to navigate the often treacherous waters of seventh grade, writing in a personal blog to help sort out her feelings about herself and those around her.
span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Seventh-grader Erin Swift has a talent for computers, a love of Snickers, and big feet that are great for soccer and useless for dancing. She has a lot on her mind: a new school where she's separated from her best friend, a crush on a boy; helping lead the school Intranet project; and a role in the school play. Then real disaster strikes, and Erin sets off on a surprising journey to self-discovery--and the many meanings of cherry-flavored Tootsie Pops./span>
