Precocious twelve-year-old Bronte and her parents move from New Mexico to California for a fresh start. For Bronte, this includes organizing a summer book club in order to make new friends. Hesitant at first, the girls open up as they transform into true confidants. A near-drowning adds unnecessary melodrama, but this tale of friendship will entertain tween readers.
