The most hilarious, charming, realistic story of middle-grade
friendships you'll ever read, from Megan McCafferty, the mega
bestselling, beloved author of Sloppy Firsts.
Twelve-year-old Ella has everything she needs to take seventh grade by
storm, from the perfect outfit to the perfect new best friend. She's
still not 100% sure why cool, confident Morgan has chosen Ella to be her
newest sidekick, but Ella is flattered by the attention, even if it
means giving up some of the things she's always loved, like fantasy
novels . . . and her former best friend, Sophie. Ella feels a little
guilty about ditching Sophie, but middle school is no laughing matter,
and Ella knows that it'll be safer in popular Morgan's shadow than by
Sophie's side.But life as Morgan's best friend is trickier than Ella
imagined. Everything has to be perfect, from their "on brand" selfies
to the videos they record of them singing. And the more demanding Morgan
becomes, the more Ella starts to wonder if she made the right choice.
But Sophie already has a new best friend, leaving Ella feeling more
alone and out of place than ever.So when Ella discovers a new activity
that she's really good at -- a hopelessly dorky sport that Morgan has
forbidden her from pursuing, Ella has to ask herself what matters
more: popularity . . . or staying true to herself? But does she even
know who she really is without loyal Sophie by her side?
