Lydia lives with her mom and goth sister; Julie lives with her two dads. The girls are best friends on the cusp of junior high. Aspiring to understand popularity, they scientifically observe the cool kids. They track their data in a journal/scrapbook, and their research is presented, in sketches and alternating handwriting, in this clever and humorous volume.
