can't remember the name




I've been trying to find a book for the, um, several YEARS.  I have been wanting to find this book for Ryanna to read but the only problem is:

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS BOOK!

I THINK I read it when I was 9 or 10 years old.  Since I have many friends that are so book savvy and are involved in "Bookland" I'm challenging this qwest. 

Here's what I know about it:
1) The main character's name is Shirley.
2) She's either in 5th grade or early Junior Highish.
3) She has a baseball clock in the book and when it sounds, she has to THROW it at the wall to turn it off. (I know it's a funky thing to remember, but I thought it was so COOL)
4) It was a scholastic book order book

Please, my fellow bookworms, please help me find this book! I haven't ever seen it at a library, I've never seen it in any book orders and haven't been able to locate it.  Help!

Sorry, Ang. I have always been a bit of a bookworm, but I've never read that one.

I remember that book! I think it's called "6th Grade could kill you: but I will look for it to make sure. By what I remember that is what it's called. I have several copies I think. I have at least one, I know that much.

No, Sixth grade can really kill you isn't the book you are remembering. I will keep looking. This book is cute though. It's about a girl who doesn't do well in school but eventually learns getting help isn't a bad thing.

I hate it when that happens. Sorry I can't help you. I wasn't much of a reader when I was little.

I've been looking for this book for it. I don't think I read it, but was the book called "Yours Turly, Shirley"? ...It is written by the same author as The Babysitter Club.
