Seventh grader Margot feels nervous about starting school without her best friend. She's psyched to hang with new-girl Em, rebellious and untrustworthy, who encourages Margot to be gutsier, but also lands her in trouble when revenge on a bully goes too far. Though Margot often sounds older than her almost-thirteen years, her desire to fit in is relatable.

Canadian fourth-grader Jude Bhandari doesn't get why Terrence, the new kid from England, has to pick fights with everyone, including Jude's best friend Sanjay and even Jude himself. Jude's first-person narration reveals his frustration toward his own deadbeat dad, love for his mother and Nani, and a common link with Terrence. The straightforward story is accessible and entertaining.
