Growing up is always just a little too much for a kid to handle, but taking your time is all it takes Tweeny-bopper Elise knows she�s different, but kind of just chalks it up to being a weirdo. In True Colors: Growing Up Weird in the 90s, Elise invites readers into the pages of her diary and takes them back to a radically different time before smartphones and home computers. Creative and curious kids, anybody dealing with anything from not fitting in, to anxiety�or even an ADHD diagnosis�will see themselves in the pages.
