Reach for this book when your middle schooler is struggling to navigate the high-stakes world of cliques and the pressure to compromise their values to fit in. This story follows thirteen-year-old Charlie, who finds herself at a painful crossroads: regain her status with the popular crowd or stay loyal to her twin sister, Sammie. It is a nuanced look at how the desire for belonging can lead even good kids toward dishonest choices, like cheating, and the fallout that occurs when family and friends collide. Ideal for ages 10 to 14, the book captures the specific anxiety of early adolescence where social standing feels like everything. Parents will find it a perfect tool for discussing integrity, the complexity of sibling relationships, and how to set boundaries with toxic friends. It normalizes the feeling of being torn between two worlds while providing a realistic roadmap for making amends and standing tall in one's own identity.
