Summary

Julie Albright is going through some CHANGES and we are along for the ride! If you missed the six book format, you’ll be thrilled to dive into Julie’s world with us. In Meet Julie, we are introduced to the Albright family, BFF Ivy, and a coach/villain who rejects Title IX. Throughout this book, Julie has to overcome a number of challenges, including a move, career day, and sexism in middle school sports. We invite you to grab your handbags, gladbags, and other groovy Julie gear to treat yourself with a trip back to the ‘70s.
