Fuga dalla scuola media (1996)
L'undicenne Dawn Wiener (Matarazzo), secondogenita di una famiglia ebrea, frequenta una normale scuola in una cittadina qualunque del New Jersey. A volte odiata, spesso rimproverata, raramente compresa, Dawn cerca invano di avere un atteggiamento aperto ed essere allegra, mentre lotta per superare quella che sembra essere una pubertà senza fine. Dawn è bruttina, porta occhiali spessi e vestiti orrendi. I genitori le preferiscono Missy, sempre a posto nel suo vestitino rosa. Il solo amico di Dawn è il teppistello Brandon che minaccia sempre di "stuprarla", ma che in fondo non è poi così malvagio.
