About This Book
Reach for this book when your tween is navigating the complexities of social status, online etiquette, or a competitive friendship. Madison Finn is a relatable 12-year-old dealing with the fallout of her parents' divorce while managing the everyday stresses of seventh grade. In this installment, a surprise party goes awry and a digital competition with her rival, Ivy, forces Madison to look at her own behavior. This is an excellent choice for children who feel the pressure to be 'the best' or who are beginning to explore their identity through technology and social media. It provides a safe space to discuss healthy competition and the importance of staying true to oneself amidst peer pressure. The story is gentle, realistic, and deeply rooted in the emotional life of a middle-schooler.
