“Nice face,” the first note says, which sends Wendy into a cycle of paranoia about her looks and how she needs to improve herself.
And someone has started leaving anonymous sticky notes for Wendy all over the school. Brainiac bully John “Monster” seems to find even more joy in torturing Wendy than he has in the past. Jennifer’s acting different and Wendy’s convinced she’s keeping secrets. Then eighth grade begins and things start to change. She has her BFF Jennifer by her side, so that’s all that matters. Unlike some of the kids around her, Wendy doesn’t care much about popularity or being part of the groups she calls the Sticks, Suaves or Brainiacs (I’ll bet you can figure out who’s who by those names - and we’ve all been to school with them). That’s how life is for Wendy Robichaud, the almost-14-year-old girl who tells the story of Bird Face by Cynthia T. But the secrets that some middle schoolers hide can shock everyone around them – including the kids they see every day. It’s no secret that middle school can be some of the toughest years of many kids’ lives.
