A humorous, heartfelt, and fashion-filled middle grade contemporary novel about Macy Weaver, a young girl struggling with how to be her true self and make a best friend-during a tumultuous year when her mom goes back to college. Perfect for fans of From the Desk of Zoe Washington and Stand Up, Yumi Chung. Eleven-year-old Macy Weaver knows relationships are complicated. Fresh off her latest friendship breakup, she' s spent most of her summer break on her own. So when Macy' s mother decides to go back to college three states away, Macy jumps on the chance to move-anything for a fresh start. But Macy' s new home isn' t exactly what she expected. Her mother' s never around and her dad' s always working. Lonelier than ever, Macy sets her sights on finding a new best friend. When she meets Brynn, who' s smart and kind and already seems to have her whole life figured out-down to her future as a high fashion model-Macy knows she' s it. The only problem is that Brynn already has a BFF and, as everyone knows, you can only have one. Resorting to old habits, Macy turns one small lie into a whole new life-full of fantastic fashion and haute couture-but it isn' t long before everything really falls apart. Ultimately, Macy must determine how to make things right and be true to herself-rather than chasing after the person she thinks she' s supposed to be.
"Macy is easy to love! Her search for a friend who will appreciate her true self is relatable and inspiring. The novel is fun, inclusive, and a celebration of being who you really are. This was such a delightful read! Make way for Lakita Wilson-a fresh, exciting voice in children' s fiction!"-Kekla Magoon, CSK Honor-winning author for The Season of Styx Malone and National Book Award finalist for Revolution in Our Time
