Sophie Dailey is not looking forward to middle school. For one thing, she doesn't look like the other kids. Instead of trendy tank tops, she wears high-tech shirts that block UV rays. (Sun protection is serious business!) And she definitely doesn't sound like other kids either. (She can't say 'sweet' or 'stan' without making a weird face.) Needless to say, this is probably why her best friend, Ella, ditched her for Queen Bee Morgan. Sophie is comfortable with who she is and doesn't want to change. But she's also pretty lonely without Ella. Even worse, Morgan seems intent on making seventh grade miserable for Sophie, and Ella doesn't bat an eye at the bullying. Then a new girl moves in next door to Sophie. Kaytee Ray is eerything Sophie is not: fashionable and super confident. Sophie can't believe Kaytee wants to spend the last few days of summer with her. Determined to keep Kaytee as a friend, Sophie claims to be besties with popular Morgan and Ella. But can any friendship built on lies survive seventh grade?
