Book #1 in the Jada Jones series
A young girl tries to navigate the challenges of school and friendships after her best friend moves away.
Jada Jones loves rocks, but when her best friend moves away, school becomes lonely. A class project on rocks and minerals offers a chance to shine, but a difficult teammate challenges her ideas and patience. Can Jada turn this rocky start into a winning project and perhaps gain a new friend along the way? Discover how Jada balances her passion for science with the complexities of friendship in this engaging chapter book.
When Jada Jones’s best friend moves away, school feels like the last place she wants to be. She’d much rather wander outside looking for cool rocks to add to her collection, since finding rocks is much easier than finding friends. So when Jada’s teacher announces a class project on rocks and minerals, Jada finally feels like she’s in her element. The only problem: one of her teammates doesn’t seem to like any of Jada’s ideas. She doesn’t seem to like Jada all that much, either. Can Jada figure out a way to make a winning science project and a new friend?
