As Seventh grade begins, Lizzie Archer knows she can't endure another year of being derided as the class nerd. Maybe she can't stop being smart, but at least she doesn't have to look so different. Out of her Emily Dickinson dresses and into Gap jeans she goes, and the effect is amazing. The girls talk to her; the boys tease her. But her braininess remains an obstacle to her popularity, and Lizzie wants to be liked, especially by Ethan Winfield. To her teacher's amazement, Lizzie begins to make mistakes in math. As her math partner, Ethan is horrified, but no one is more unhappy, or confused, than Lizzie. It isn't until she realizes tha being this "new" person won't win her the kind of friends she wants tha Lizzie can be proud of the person she really is, inside.
