Bookroo's summary

Kaley Bluster's school project takes her on a digital adventure, connecting with kids worldwide. Her lively emails, however, lead to misunderstandings and local interference. As Kaley navigates these challenges, she learns the pitfalls of assumptions and the true meaning of friendship. Can she mend the chaos her words have caused and find a nickname that fits her evolving identity? Join Kaley as she discovers the complexities of communication and the importance of understanding others, whether they're across the globe or right next door.

From the publisher

Kaley Bluster is at it again! This time she’s not only writing to her teacher, Mr. Serrano, but she’s also writing to other fourth graders–all over the world! Her assignment is to find an email penpal and to discover things about a kid her age in another country. Kaley’s assumptions and her chatty personality get her into trouble with some of her cyberpals because some things just don’t translate, you know? Then some of her local classmates interfere with her emails, and Kaley just has to fix things. Her way. In the end, Kaley learns that it isn’t such a good idea to make assumptions about people, whether they live far away, in her own hometown, or even in her family.
