But when Ana puts Liv, her new best friend Bella, and enemy-turned-friend Ashley together, her friendship spheres collide in a messy way. Especially when Liv finds out that Ashley, her former nemesis, and Ana are friends-before Ana can explain herself. With no one getting along and her thirteenth birthday party fast approaching, Ana's animal kingdom is even more chaotic than usual.
"With her trademark kid-oriented wit and lighthearted touch, Keating leads readers through the daily emotional ups and downs of the typical just-turned-teenager who is trying to juggle hormones, parents, schoolwork, and, most importantly, her friends...A sweet reminder that being middle school girl is about far more than boys and makeup. -Kirkus, starred review " - Kirkus Reviews
"Keating has crafted another engaging work that will speak to readers anxious about navigating social situations-and the fun animal factoids interspersed add to the fun," - School Library Journal
"A pleasing story about the trials of friendship, first boyfriends, and what it means to truly start growing up." - Booklist
