As class klutz and all-around misfit, Olivia Jones thought that starting middle school would be tough enough. What's worse, her BFF and next-door neighbour, Alex, is moving to Paris. Then Olivia discovers an old friendship bracelet in her mother's drawer and realises there might be a way for her to feel connected to Alex, even when they're an ocean apart.
