Bookroo's summary

Beatrice Zinker thrives on upside-down thinking, but when her best friend Lenny forgets their ninja suit plan and shows up with a new friend, Beatrice faces a dilemma. Can her unique perspective save their friendship and the secret mission? Discover how Beatrice navigates this topsy-turvy challenge and attempts to turn things right-side up.

From the publisher

Beatrice does her best thinking upside down.Hanging from trees by her knees, doing handstands . . . for Beatrice Zinker, upside down works every time. She was definitely upside down when she and her best friend, Lenny, agreed to wear matching ninja suits on the first day of third grade. But when Beatrice shows up at school dressed in black, Lenny arrives with a cool new outfit and a cool new friend. Even worse, she seems to have forgotten all about the top-secret operation they planned! Can Beatrice use her topsy-turvy way of thinking to save the mission, mend their friendship, and flip things sunny-side up?
