Best frenemies. ISBN: 0062318454 OCLC: 885225329 "Side by side by side? Alice Kinney shouldn't be nervous about starting middle school. She's got her best friend, Cassidy, by her side, so it can't be that bad, right? Except, Cass isn't at her side. For the first time since kindergarten, Alice and Cassidy aren't in any of the same classes, and Alice is stuck with a brand-new crew in honors class! The girls try to stay in touch from across the hallway with the help of a shared notebook--but when Alice accidentally befriends not-so-nice Nikki from Cassidy's dance class, she keeps it to herself. Cass will never understand. That is, not until Alice shows her that Nikki is just misunderstood, right? Alice juggles both friendships, waiting for the right moment to tell everyone the truth. But then, disaster strikes: Cass's play and Nikki's math competition fall on the same night. Neither girl will ever forgive Alice if she misses their big day... What is Alice supposed to do when her two best friends are total enemies?"--Page [4] of cover. |
