Preteens Carly and Arlene are writing a fantasy about twin princesses in Atlantis: chapters from their romantic fantasy alternate with chapters about Carly's problems with adolescence, including the way her new "cool" friend Whitney is breaking up her friendship with Arlene. Carly's feelings are realistic and believable, and the fantasy story is tied in to them in an understated way.
