Overview
"Thirteen-year-old Betty Garcia has just moved to Anaheim, CA. It's Betty's first day at the local Catholic school, to Betty's chagrin -- she's Agnostic. Betty is determined to dislike everything about school, but when she meets and quickly develops a crush on ultra-cool Roxana, things start looking up. After Roxana almost catches Betty staring at her, Betty hides behind her textbook and reads about Sor Juana De La Cruz, a 17th century nun who defied the church clergy in her teens. Soon after, the teacher catches Betty daydreaming and quizzes her on the spot — but to Betty's amazement, Sor Juana materializes next to her and feeds her the answers. Although unsure if the young nun is a figment of her imagination or a religious experience, Betty forms a bond with the brainy Sor Juana as they realize they have a lot in common despite having lived centuries apart." -- Abstract
