Bookroo's summary

Cody's world is in flux as spring approaches. Her brother Wyatt's new style, Pearl's soccer obsession, and Spencer's secretive project leave her feeling adrift. Even Spencer's mom might be expecting a baby. With everything changing, Cody wonders if she can maintain her sense of self. As she navigates these challenges with her usual charm, will the core of her life remain intact? Discover how Cody handles the unpredictable nature of growing up and the shifting dynamics around her.

From the publisher

In Cody’s life, some people keep her on her toes—just like Mother Nature, who is warm one day and snowy the next. Or like Cody’s brother, Wyatt, who has started wearing collared shirts because his girlfriend likes them. Meanwhile, Pearl has begun playing soccer and it’s all she can talk about. Spencer is busy creating a mysterious museum underneath GG’s house and he’s never around to play. And Spencer’s mom doesn’t look any different. . . . Could she really have a baby growing inside her? Maybe the baby is like Cody’s beloved ants, waiting patiently inside the earth for spring to arrive. It seems like everything around Cody is changing—from seasons to friendships—but if she can just navigate it all with her trademark enthusiasm and charm, maybe the most important things will stay the same.
