Jenny Watts has always been shy. So much that her parents introduce her as "their shy one." But heading into 5th-grade, Jenny has a plan. This year she's going to be confident and popular. But sometimes even the best laid-out plans don't turn out as expected.

Instead in the beginning of the year, Jenny faces some "mean girls" and a bus bully. Her parents also send her to a child psychologist who is unbearable. She feels utterly defeated.

Jenny meets a girl named Lizzie, a girl with a sad past who is her exact opposite - outgoing and boisterous, and a new friendship begins to develop.

The two girls face the ups and downs of adolescence. Their friendship is tested when a group of mean girls start making fun of Lizzie. Will her shyness get the best of her once again or will Jenny finally find her voice and stand up for her new friend?

Gorman, Amy C.: - Amy Gorman is the original shy girl. Growing up a quiet redhead laid the ground work for this treasured book. A book she completed the fall of 2014, a year before she passed away from her second battle with breast cancer. Amy developed her writing skills at Lehigh University, and her degree in Journalism led her to New York City where she worked as an editor for a small magazine. Whether it was making her way through campus, or navigating Central Park, Amy forged lasting friendships on her regular runs. Craving some mountain air and more challenging terrain, she headed out west and settled in Colorado, where she earned her graduate degree in Political Science. After finding her favorite running partner, Amy and her husband moved back East, to Ashburn, VA, so they could raise a family closer to her three sisters and parents. Though looking after her two daughters was her biggest passion, she still found time to pursue her love of writing doing freelance work. Along with her beloved daughters, this book is Amy's lasting legacy and final gift to her cherished family and friends.
