I knew today would be ugly...  It's the first day of high school for Mena, and already her world looks bleak: she's an outcast, all her former friends hate her, even her parents barely speak to her anymore. And why?Because she tried to do the right thing.And then everything went wrong.  But can a cute, nerdy lab partner; his bossy, outspoken sister; and an unconventional, imaginative science teacher be just what Mena needs to turn her life around?  Or will the combination of all of them only make things worse?
