Ten in a PG-13 World

Evie is ten. The biggest movie in the history of movies is finally here. And her parents said no.

Spirit Week is happening.
The movie premiere is almost here.
Everybody at school is talking about it.

Everybody is going.

Everybody except Evie.

Her parents say she is too young to see the new PG-13 movie, and Evie is not about to accept that quietly. Not when her friends are making plans. Not when the countdown is on. And definitely not when being the only girl in a house full of brothers is already unfair enough.

As the biggest week of the school year unfolds, Evie tries everything to change her parents’ minds. She argues. She negotiates. She pleads her case like her entire social life depends on it—because it kind of does. But the closer the premiere gets, the more impossible the situation feels.

Told in funny, heartfelt verse, Ten in a PG-13 World is a fast, relatable middle grade story about friendship, family, school drama, and the frustration of being told you are too young for the one thing everybody else gets to experience.

Book 2 in The Only Girl Series, this lively novel-in-verse is perfect for readers who love strong kid voice, big feelings, school stories, and the everyday disasters of being ten.
