(3) 4-6 Narrator Kaylan and her best friend Arianna are entering middle school. Before they both turn twelve in November, the girls pledge to transform themselves with eleven bucket-list items, including "make a guy friend" and "help humanity." But a rocky start to sixth grade ends up transforming them in unanticipated ways. Greenwald proves her understanding of the middle-school psyche as the girls' friendship is realistically tested.
