The World Divided by Piper

From the critically acclaimed author of the ALA Notable and Charlotte Huck Honor Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time comes the story of Piper Franklin, the girl who is way too busy to grow up . . . until she has to. Perfect for fans of Alyson Gerber and Rebecca Stead. Piper Franklin has big plans. First, she´ll win the Academic Decathlon with her best friend, Tallulah. Then, she´ll finish her life´s work: Metaphorical Math. And in the meantime, she and Tallulah will maintain their secret, El Jardin Muerto. Nothing can stop Piper . . . except for puberty. Piper was diagnosed with early-onset puberty, and she´s been taking blockers to keep it at bay since she was six years old. But now her doctor thinks it´s time for her treatment to end, and Piper´s eyes are opened to a completely new world. Piper sees the issues that her older sister and her mom struggle with and gets a very clear picture of her own future--one that she´s not sure she likes. Will a changing body change all of Piper´s plans? And why does she have to grow up in the first place? Or does she?
