Square Pegs was created by Anne Beatts and the character of Patty is based on her. The story is about two freshman, nerdy girls, Patty and Lauren, whom try to penetrate the "in" crowd at Weemawee High School. The only problem was they stood out like sore thumbs. Patty was brainy and wore glasses, and Lauren was overweight and had braces. Thankfully, two other "square pegs" accepted them.
