All Over It! (Junior Novel #19): After Lizzie and Miranda's school food drive is a success, Lizzie throws herself head-first into ecological issues. But it's not just a healthy pro-active stance she's taken. It's an obsession. She sets out to conserve water and feed the homeless, becomes a vegetarian, and leaves little time for anything else. While Lizzie is driving her family nuts with her newfound ways, Gordo is obsessed with the school Science Olympics. He wants to beat Larry Tudgeman, the reigning Olympic champ, so he stays up every night studying and practicing. Matt is also getting carried away at school, as the newest hall monitor. He tickets several classmates, and even his teachers and parents. Can Lizzie and her crew rein in their obsessions before it's too late? Plus, Lizzie and her brother Matt are responsible for destroying their dad's prized possession!
the bit about gordo being useless when he hasn’t been fed and him trying not to wonder about where the tumbleweed in the hallway came from during his standoff with larry....he’s just neat

All Over It was such a fun throwback! This book had me laughing out loud and gave me total 2000s nostalgia. It reminded me exactly why Lizzie McGuire was one of my favorite shows growing up. Some of the episodes this book is based on were always ones I loved as a kid, so it was a blast revisiting them in chapter book form. Sure, it’s a little cheesy in that early-2000s way, but that’s part of the charm. If you grew up watching Lizzie, this is a fun way to relive those memories.
