Bookroo's summary

Nikki and Deja, inseparable best friends, navigate the ups and downs of third grade together. Their bond is tested when a new girl arrives, sparking jealousy and prompting them to form an exclusive club. As their plan unfolds, they face unforeseen challenges that threaten their friendship. Will they learn the true meaning of inclusion and friendship, or will their actions drive them apart? This engaging tale explores the complexities of young friendships and the impact of cliques with warmth and humor, inviting readers to reflect on the choices we make and their consequences.

From the publisher

Meet Nikki and Deja, who live next door to each other and are best friends.

They do everything together—watch Saturday morning cartoons, play jacks, jump double dutch at recess, and help each other with their homework for Mrs. Shelby’s third-grade class.

But when an arrogant new girl arrives and Nikki and Deja form a club that would exclude her, the results are not what they expect.

This warm, easy-to-read chapter book from an award-winning author captures all the joys and complexities of elementary school life—particularly friendships and cliques—with finesse and humor.
