(3) YA Perfect rich-girl Avery and shy loner Kayla haven't been friends since childhood. But when Avery's dad arranges for Kayla to accompany the family on a summer trip to Spain, the two girls discover they have a surprising--and initially unwelcome--connection. Told in short chapters alternating between Avery's and Kayla's perspectives, Haddix's narrative effectively builds sympathy for both girls.
