Friendship under seventh-grade pressure

Fonda, Drew, and Ruthie expect seventh grade to mean more time together, but new school routines and shifting social dynamics complicate that plan. Ruthie’s placement in Talented and Gifted puts her in a different part of the school; Drew is preoccupied with a crush whose attention has changed; and Fonda faces a choice as the popular girls begin noticing her. These strands bring friendship, exclusion, honesty, and the pull to fit in into the same school-year story. The book also highlights the value of female friendship and being yourself as the three friends face changes in how they relate to one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for readers interested in stories about friendship tested by changing social circles.
  • For middle-grade readers exploring crushes, school transitions, and fitting in.
  • Could suit fans of friendship-centered school stories.

Book overview

A new paperback series where girls help each other tackle issues of friendship, crushes, and new experiences. Perfect for fans of The Baby-Sitters Club, Real Friends, and Invisible Emmie--it's all about being true to yourself!

Fonda, Drew, and Ruthie have been besties forever, but seventh grade is going to be their year! The girls can't wait to do everything together and have an amazing time doing it.

But then...

  • Ruthie realizes that being in Talented and Gifted means being in a different part of the school. There go their stuck-together-like-glue dreams.
  • Drew's crush--who seemed so into her like a week ago--suddenly acts like he doesn't know her. And now he's all she can think about.
  • Fonda's finally being noticed by the popular girls, but can she really hang out with them if Ruthie and Drew aren't invited?

  • There's nothing like seventh grade to test the bonds of friendship. Fonda, Drew, and Ruthie are about to find out how much it stinks to be lied to, to be left out, and to feel like you're the only one who cares. But they'll also find out how meaningful female friendships are, and how great it feels to be yourself.

    Get ready for the most meaningful, most fun stuff of all: girl stuff!
