Girl Unmoored by Jennifer Gooch Hummer. Debut by Hummer (a friend from Maine!). From Amazon: Middle school is purgatory for Apron Bramhall. Her mother is dead. Her best friend Rennie has falled under the spell of the local Queen Bee. Margie (aka "M") the Brazilian nurse who cared for her late parent has literally moved in on her depressed Latin professor father, all while trying to dispose of Apron's beloved guinea pig. It's a classic case of things can't get worse, but they do quickly in this fast-paced bildungsroman set in 1980s coastal Maine.
