"The sequel to the critically acclaimed Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus follows Aven Green as she confronts yet another challenge: high school. Just as Aven starts to feel comfortable in Stagecoach Pass, with her friends and schoolmates accustomed to her lack of "armage," everything changes once again. She's about to begin high school ... with 2,300 new kids to stare at her. And no matter how much Aven tries to play it cool, nothing prepares her for the reality. In a year filled with confusion, humiliation, and just maybe love, can Aven manage to stay true to herself?"--Provided by publisher

"I read this as a follow up to the first book about Aven, Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus. The tone and style of this book changed dramatically compared with the first book the first is definitely middle grade fiction; this one is more YA, and rightfully so. Aven has entered high school and things can be pretty rough in high school, more so if you're an outsider, an easy target to be picked on and bullied. The tone is more angsty. Aven has lost the confidence she had in the first novel, in which she built up Connor who struggles with Tourette's Syndrome. Of course, by the end of this novel, all is well and righted as it should be. Confidence is restored. And readers learn that sometimes the worst thing that could happen does happen, and one is still able to keep going. That's an important lesson to learn. <br/><br/>I enjoyed the first book more, but it was nice to have a revisit with Aven."
