The story: Bridget, Emily, and Tabitha swore on a Twinkie that they would always be friends and never fight--but their promise gets a little harder to keep as they enter 7th grade and find their interests going in different directions. Bridge gets a not-boyfriend and starts wearing cat ears for reasons even she doesn't understand, Emily's curves are attracting a lot of attention--not all of it good--and Tab is turning into quite the feminist activist. Not to mention there's an unnamed person running away from her life for just a day, whose reasons become clear only as the books progresses.

Liz's comments: This is a fun coming-of-age story, although without the startling time-travel element that made "When You Reach Me" so memorable. Even so, the girls are proof that a friendship can endure even when those friends grow up and branch out.
