Tweens and early teens are being bombarded by hormones and begin to develop reproductively (i.e. breasts, pubic hair, etc.)*
Many experience a growth surge. Guys get taller, and girls get rounder.
Many experience a hormonal rollercoaster – becoming moody and seemingly different over night.

There are many ways to describe Ms. Underdorf.
She was brilliant and joyous, and she believed-probably correctly-that libraries contain the answers to everything, and that if you can’t find the information you seek in the library, then such information probably does not exist in this or any other parallel universe now or ever to be known.
She was thoughtful and kind and always believed the best of everybody. She was, above all else, a master librarian and knew where to find any book on any subject in the shortest possible time.
And she was wonderfully unhinged…
And so the Amazing Armadillo.
