Miss Classified
When Blythe hits 7th Grade, it hits back.
She’s always excelled in school, but now she’s struggling, and she can’t join clubs unless her grades are high enough. Her dad expects her to join Math Club, even though her secret passion is photography. The way things are going, she won’t get to do either one.
But her parents can’t know that.
When Bly teams up with her nemesis Cherie to cheat her way to good grades, she doesn’t expect to keep failing anyway. And the more she cheats, the worse she feels. She’s trapped. Confessing the truth about her grades and cheating might cost her the love of her family, her friends, and her chance at the photography contest she’s dreaming of winning. But the cost of continuing her lies could be even worse.
How can she get her life to come into clear focus like one of her developing pictures?

As a psychologist who has worked with adults struggling with ADD/ADHD, I know how important it is to help students understand ADD early and learn successful ways to cope. Adolescence is hard enough! Struggling with attention problems has a cascading effect on self-esteem, social acceptance and academic performance. Unrecognized, the impact of ADD/ADHD carries on into adulthood, creating even bigger challenges. What better way is there to learn about something than by reading a good story!
Miss Classified is a wonderful story. It is a fun, face paced story with surprising twists and a very satisfying ending. I sent copies of Miss Classified to my nieces, one in middle school and one in high school. They loved the story and they LOVED Bly! While not struggling with ADD, they have both experienced the challenges faced by Bly, and by all of us. The challenge to belong, to meet the expectations of parents, and to become their own person.
Susan Phelan has written a book that is fun, sensitive and educational. I’m looking forward to her next book!
