In the world of thirteen-year-old girls, everything's fineat least on the surface.Isabelle Lee is a typical, wisecracking, middle-of-the-pack girl who just happens to be dealing with some big issues. Her father has died and no oneespecially her motherwants to talk about it. Meanwhile, Isabelle's sister, who ';used to be nine and charming,' has messed everything up by ratting Isabelle out to their mom about her eating disorder.At school, there's Mr. Minx, the self-important (but really not bad) English teacher; Ashley Barnum, the prettiest girl around; and the lunchroom, where tables are turf in an all-eyes-open battle for social status. Isabelle has measured the distance to being cool and she thinks it's long shiny hair, a toothpaste smile, and perfectly broken-in size-zero jeans.Perfect is the story of one girl's attempt to cope with loss, define true friendship, and figure out the difference between appearances and reality.
