When Callie Anderson, a sixth grader who already has frizzy hair, freckles, and finds that she has to get glasses, she drags her feet as any young girl would do. And when the glasses she reluctantly chooses are on backorder, the optometrist offers a loaner pair, which give Callie a new perspective on life.
She finds out that the glasses allow her to see what other people are thinking – everyone from fellow students, teachers, family and friends. Callie learns that she’s not the only one who feels awkward and strange in middle school.
