As If Being 12 3 ⁄4 Isn’t Bad Enough,
My Mother Is
Running for President!
DONNA GEPHART
AS IF BEING 12 3/4 isn’t bad enough, Vanessa Rothrock’s mother is
running for president and it’s ruining her life. Isn’t it enough that her
enormous feet trip her up all the time, even on stage during the school
spelling bee? Isn’t it enough that Reginald Trumball, love of Vanessa’s
pathetic life, read her personal and private list of deficiencies to some boy
she doesn’t even know? And that the Boob Fairy hasn’t visited her even
once?! Doesn’t Mom realize that Vanessa needs her more than the rest of
the country? More importantly, doesn’t she realize that she may be in grave
danger? Vanessa’s receiving threatening notes at school—notes that imply
some psycho has it out for her mother at the Democratic National
Convention. Vanessa might be the only person who can save her. But does
she have the courage to do what that requires?
As If Being 12 3 ⁄4 . . . is Donna Gephart’s first novel. She lives with her family in
Jupiter, Florida, where she’s already at work on her second.
