I am a flat chested teenybopper and nobody likes me. At least not today. Maybe if I’m lucky someone will like me tomorrow.

And so begins Jenny Grant’s account of the trials and tribulations of her final year of elementary school. Along the way Jenny finds her world rocked by a family crisis, breaks the leg of one of the most popular girls in school, and discovers (can it be?) true love. By turns hilarious and heartwrenching, When Am I Supposed to Sleep? is guaranteed to prevent readers from getting to sleep themselves as they wait to find out how Jenny’s grade 8 year will turn out.
