Via a shared secret notebook as well as other notes, chats, and texts, overdramatic Piper and brainy Olivia (and occasionally others) tell the story of their transition into middle school and their discovery of diverging interests. The humor in both girls' voices makes for a breezy read, and tweens will likely relate to the evolving-friendship conflict.
