About Average by Andrew Clements

Jordan Johnston is a regular girl. "Plain and average" she calls herself. Everything she does is average. "What are we going to do with her?" said her parents one day. "She's just too average!" One day, a girl named Marlea finds her list of what she is awful at, good at and great at. The embarrassing part is she only has 2 things on her "Great At" list! After Marlea reads her list out loud, Jordan is furious. Meanwhile, Joe the weather guy is looking outside. The air feels funny. Frowning, he goes inside. Back at her school, Jordan is still fuming. In the middle of choir, the conductor starts waving his hands and hollering "Stop!" Someone is singing off key. Yet, even after they stopped singing, the raw loud noise continues. The conductor realizes that the noise comes from outside. As he opens up the door, winds slam him to the ground and a trash can smashes into his face. The kids panic as trash and debris flood into the building. What will she do?
