From the publisher

For lovers of Ivy + Bean, Clementine, and Dory Fantasmagory, this adorable chapter book series is about the adventures of two best friends with the same name. There’s a lot going on in Room 19. A sleepover? A talent show? And worst of all, new table groups?! Audrey L and Audrey W were destined to be friends. They both love purple, they have the same stationery, and they have the same name–so of course! But this month, all of Audrey L’s joy at finding her first best friend feels a little wobbly. When Room 19 switches seating order, she and Audrey W are separated by a whole classroom–and from where Audrey L’s sitting, it looks like Audrey W is having a grand old time with . . . Bettina! Now Bettina’s coming with Audrey W to the treehouse. Bettina’s joining the Audreys’ Talent Show act. Gosh, what ISN’T Bettina involved in these days?
