The Art of Science - Ransom Noble - Bog

Janie Hunter's plans for seventh grade include Art Club, Volleyball, weekly jam sessions and maybe Pom Squad - but she didn't plan to get into a special science program. When her grades drop, her mother expects her to sacrifice all of her fun activities but not the science program.
Complications arise while Janie tries to balance her popular friends and studious science kids, her academics and her love of art, and expectations from her mother. The biggest surprise comes when Janie finds she can combine science and art. However, she must also find her voice to stand up for what she wants or follow her mother's plan forever.
