Cracking Up

Just as plucky 12-year-old Peanut Beardsley is getting used to her terrible new pixie haircut - which she's told makes her look just like David Bowie, whoever he is - as well as the daily humiliations of seventh grade, she is about to discover something shocking about her childhood in the most painfully public way possible. This launches a wildly personal drama in full view of all her classmates. Luckily, Peanut is equipped with a strong sense of humor to help her find a way to turn her crisis into a triumph.
