Bookroo's summary

Perry and Venice, middle school best friends, land their dream role as yearbook photographers. But when they discover the candid moments are staged, Perry faces a dilemma. Should she conform by photographing the popular crowd, or risk losing friends to capture genuine moments? As sixth-grade politics and friendship dynamics unfold, Perry must decide between fitting in or standing out. Will she choose authenticity over acceptance, or will the pressure of popularity prove too strong? Dive into this tale of friendship, choices, and the quest for true self-expression.

From the publisher

Perfect for summer reading is this first book in a fun new series about two middle school BFFs as they experience the highs and lows of friendship, boys, sixth grade politics, sister drama, and popularity. Middle school isn’t a popularity contest. It’s a war. Perry and her best friend, Venice, are excited to be yearbook photographers and tell the story of their school through their art. But that’s before they find out the truth: the spontaneous moments they’re supposed to capture are all faked.Yearbooks should include everybody–even the dorks. But Perry feels totally stuck. Until she starts taking flattering shots of popular people, none of her candids will ever be chosen. Fighting back isn’t going to win her any friends–she might even lose some. It’s time to decide what’s more important: fitting in . . . or standing out.
