Summary of the Book

Jesse decides to cut her own hair with a Swiss Army knife! She starts wearing big green boots that resemble what fishermen wear. She establishes NOLAW, the National Organization to Liberate All Weirdos and is the only member yet. Emily, the vice-president of the student council, wears sweaters with artificial pearl buttons. She has a boyfriend. She and Jesse have absolutely nothing in common, except for the intense "private time" they share every Tuesday afternoon.
