'The Humiliations of Pipi McGee' by Beth Vrabel is a relatable and humorous middle-grade novel. Penelope McGee, tired of years of embarrassment, seeks redemption and maybe a little revenge before leaving middle school. With wit and empathy, Vrabel captures Pipi’s quest to shed her past humiliations.

This was very cute! I think it would be most popular with 5th or 6th grade readers (since kids tend to read up), and I wouldn't hesitate to put it in my library.

I haven't read anything else by this author, but I'm curious to check out more of her books.

A copy of this book was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

With a combination of lovable characters, fast-paced storyline and enjoyable writing, I couldn’t put this down.

8th Grade: a new school year, a chance for new beginnings. For Pipi McGee, it’s a chance for new beginnings but first, she needs to check things off her list, ‘The List’, that is, of her 8 biggest humiliations and taking revenge on everyone who has humiliated her. From Regina George in middle-school form vile Kara Samson, her long-term unreciprocated crush who had rejected her in a horrific way Jackson Thorpe, and the ever-unbearable Frau Jacobs… and almost everyone who had ran away, shunned and snickered from the Pipi Touch.

Despite all that she has been through, she had her best friend Tasha by her side. Bold, fearless, captain of the track team and a book nerd with dyslexia, who no matter how busy her schedule was, had always made time and stood up for her best friend Pipi. She also had Ricky, who had always been there for her from the beginning, but she was too blind to realise and only believed they were friends because of his crush on Tasha.

I loved all the characters. From Pipi, her family, her schoolmates, the popular group in school, but maybe not the boring as stale bread Jackson Thorpe. He is still young, sure, figuring himself out, sure, but man I wished there was more to him. That aside, I loved the relationships and complex personalities of the characters in this book. Especially Pipi, who at times made me want to yell and hide in fear of consequences for her actions, yet hug and comfort her at the same time.

Aside from school, it focuses on Pipi’s family life, with her bad relationship with her sister Eliza, her adorable but insanely intelligent and wise for a 4-year-old niece, Annie, and her divorced parents and her mother’s new boyfriend Alec. It was refreshing and a lovely balance to the chaos in school, and it gave more depth into Pipi’s life outside of working on The List.

I especially liked how this book deals with issues like bullying, and generations of hurt and power complexes. The storyline is rather predictable, but I believe it falls under the good side of predictable, where it is set up well and made sense. It was a very enjoyable read.

Great read thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I think we all relate to the fun and not so fun days of middle school going into high school. The ups and downs fuel Pipi Mcgee in this her story of redemption..... Or REVENGE??

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t call this book cute because the middle school kids were painfully mean! Not all of them, but honestly, it only takes one. I loved how the author gave an accurate depiction of bullying and how you can stand up. It’s important to be kind - you never know what someone is going through.

I found this difficult to read, painful to suffer through Pipi's bad decisions and near thorough destruction of her friendships and her sister's life. Even so, I can see the value in it. We are seeing the difference between justice and revenge. Pipi is experiencing the consequences of her decision making, learning to move past her regrets and embarrassments. Sure, she can't forget them. But she can accept them as a part of her life experience. Good for many readers, just not for me.

DNF- read only up to 20%, this was just not for me. Nothing wrong with the story or writing, just not my taste.

Thank you #netgalley for a copy of this book to review. I read through this book and then shared parts with my students. They loved it and wished I had a copy in my classroom library. I have it on my wishlist so I can add it to my library.

Pipi McGee is in the middle school and she faced many humiliations since kindergarten. She decides that she will redeem herself or take revenge for all her past actions and start with a clean slate in high school. Will Pipi be successful? An interesting read for middle school kids, who will identify with Pipi and can take one or two tips from her pages.

An amazing story and really well written. I enjoyed the fun-loving characters and the things they got up to. HIghly recommended.

A funny story of how life can just go wrong year after year throughout your elementary grades and continue to middle school. Pipi is determined that it all stops now. Prepare for a quick read that will keep you smiling.

A clever and cute book that will connect easily with many of the students in an elementary or middle school library. It is a quick read, but funny and it keeps you interested all the way through.

Tons of fun to read! Can not recommend this book enough. Bought it for multiple kids of my friends. Pipi McGee is incredibly likable and so you care about Pipi cover to cover. For me, I’m all about characters and this one has a character you can root for and love. My only problem is that the book ended.

A semi-accurate portrayal of tween life, other than the fact that some of the issues between characters felt forced.. The protagonist Pipi, is going through typical hardships of middle school while holding on to past blunders. She makes the decision to try to save younger kids from those same humiliating experiences. Beware there are some topics that parents may want to be aware of in order to discuss with children.

Though I received a copy of the ebook in exchange for my review, all opinions remain my own.

This was such a good book. What starts out as Pipi trying to fix all of her previous humiliations and make herself better. You can guess that things don't quite go as expected. I found myself tearful at points during this book, it got so real. I think a tween or teen girl could relate to what Pipi is going through. Hopefully they don't have the horrible teacher that 7th grade Pipi had to deal with!

I read this with my students and they loved it!
Growing up isn't easy, especially now in this time where everything is digital and nothing is ever forgotten. If my students took anything away from this, it's that it's OK to be flawed because nobody is perfect. Essential read for the youngins in your life!

While the illustrations were well done, mixed media usually goes awry when it's digital but I was able to make them out.

A great book. Once I read this, I immediately placed it on an order for my school. Since it has entered our library, it hasn't spent a whole lot of time on the shelves - it's constantly being checked out. Highly recommended for middle schoolers - they really relate to the main character.

A fabulous read for middle schoolers!

Full of childhood wonder and atrocity, The Humiliations of Pipi McGee by Beth Vrabel is a superb novel packed with comedy and fun. The author explores the horrors of middle school bullying that get kids into sticky situations while offering them hope that things get easier. Although initially I did not care much for protagonist Pipi, as the story unfolded she became more like a friend of sorts to me. Her struggles with school began from kindergarten and progressed throughout until the end of seventh grade. But now, aged thirteen and in eighth grade, Pipi has a plan to rebuild her reputation, referred to as The List.

I ended up really enjoying Pipi's growth in the novel and the pages in this book seemed to whizz by. The well drawn characters didn't end with Pipi. There was her best friend, Tasha, who was one of the popular kids and she didn't like Pipi's plan; Ricky, with whom The List also didn't curry much favour; Sarah, one half of the Sarah and Kara cousins twosome, who seemed like she might be a friend; Jackson, a friend of Sarah's, on whom Pipi has had a crush since sixth grade.

Pipi has had some really awful things happen to her and she still dwelt on those bad moments and though this certainly didn't make her a bad person, she mostly wasn't too pleasant, either. Over time, Beth Vrabel managed to win me over, character-wise, as I found myself wanting to know more about every single character in this book.

The author has fashioned a marvellous novel that I highly recommend, without any hesitation.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my request, from Perseus Books, Running Press via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

This book was funny and relatable for middle school students. The illustrations added to the humor and I think students would definitely enjoy this one.
