Eleven-year-old Diva is horrified (but not surprised) that her mother's new dream home is a bright pink castle-like house. But the pink palace is only the beginning of a series of new humiliations. While acting as a glitzy mermaid for her Mom's party planning business, Diva is spotted by some classmates who won’t let her live it down. When she works up the courage to audition for her new school's play, she's cast in a surprising (and ridiculous) role. But it’s when her family throws her a huge surprise birthday party that things really lurch toward disaster. How can Diva stay true to her introverted, under-the-radar self in an in-your-face, over-the-top world?

"Alison Hughes’s heartwarming novel Over the Top captures the complexity of emotions that kids experience as they navigate middle school. Through Diva’s fresh and poignant voice, Hughes illustrates the disconnect that can happen between the way parents and kids view the world. Readers will root for Diva as she struggles to fit in while staying true to herself. This book has it all: page turning tension, humorous situations, realistic characters, and most importantly a loveable and relatable protagonist."Eileen Moskowitz-Palma, author of the Popularity Pact duology
