Weirdest

by Heather Nuhfer

Veronica McGowan is an average thirteen-year-old. And this is the bane of her existence. Desperate to be an “Est”—cutest, smartest, funniest—Veronica never stops trying to get a title of her own. She’s sure nothing could be worse than her current wallflower status. That is until her most embarrassing emotions begin physically manifesting themselves in weird ways! She belches fire when she’s angry, rainclouds soak her when she’s sad, and she grows a protective turtle shell when she’s scared--and all before lunch! It looks like Veronica has finally become an “Est.” But who would ever want to be…the weirdest?!

I absolutely LOVED this book. It's funny, sweet and has a great message. If you have a tween weirdo in your family (and aren't all tweens weird?) you should make sure they have this book on their shelf!

This book was so good and it made me laugh so much.
Any age can read this book but never get tired of the jokes and the story itself.

Veronica is a teenager who hates her life. She wants to become an 'EST' (Cutest, Smartest, Richest, Funniest...) but always fails at every chance she gets to become an 'EST'. One morning, when she wakes up, she has flying happy hearts in her bedroom. She thinks that its all in her imagination but later when causes something big to happen, she knows that it's real. She grows a protective turtle shell when she is scared, blows fire when she's angry and many other feelings control the way that she does things.

One thing she always wonders:
Will she lose her powers one day?

Really fun read. Believable characters with some depth, a good message, and written in an authentic voice with an effortless flow.

Proud to be weird

I really didn't know what to expect from this book. To start, the doodles absolutely made my reading experience better. They're hilarious and really make the book so so much better.
I am 23 and I loved reading this book. When I first started I was so nervous because it is sort of written for kids... But after continuing, I really couldn't put it down. It's a short little book but honestly a lot goes on. Veronica is awesome and honestly I pictured her like I looked in middle school. It was so awesome to have a character who wasn't perfect and loves nerdy stuff and eventually learns that being herself is the best person to be.

I don't know if this book would be able to have a sequel but I would read it in a heartbeat! I love that my favorite clothing company (HerUniverse) is publishing books now!
