With fourth grade just around the corner, the three girls look forward to another fun school year together. But disaster strikes on the first day of school: MAGGIE'S LEAVING!! Suddenly, Mei and Sophie only have each other. They can still have fun together, right?

But soon, Sophie behaves very differently. She hates Mei's art. She calls her hurtful names. She even plays mean pranks on her. What's going on? Sophie is still Mei's friend, isn't she? So why is she now her ... bully?

Mei begins to fear school, but even at home, there is no escape from her bully. Nowhere feels safe. Can Mei overcome hardship and regain her shattered confidence? Or will her bully ruin her entire year?
