Abby, Bess, and Cristy are best friends-period, end of story. Until Bess said, "Zack's cute," and the two words sent the three friends into a tailspin. Zack, you see, was Abby's long, long, longtime crush. Gasp! Poor Abby has never even worried about the possibility of someone else liking Zack. Even if she had, she never would've suspected that the someone would be Bess! That leaves us with three puzzling questions about the three best friends: 1) Why didn't Bess think Zack was off-limits? 2) What will Abby do about it? And 3) Whose side is Cristy on anyway? For these three best friends, those three questions are just the beginning!

Gr. 4-6. In a follow-up to Julep O'Toole: Confessions of a Middle Child (2005), 11-year-old Julep thinks she is old enough to make her own decisions, whether about her wardrobe or piano lessons. Unfortunately, Mom has her own ideas about what's best for Julep, and they don't include a camera phone or makeup. They do, however, seem to include discussing Julep's need for a bra with a store clerk rather than with Julep herself. When Julep gets caught skipping piano lessons, the incident brings resentments out in the open. Although the mother-daughter relationship remains a little rocky, Julep gains some insight into her mother, and vice versa, and both come to realize the importance of communication and trust. This sequel incorporates lots of familiar preteen concerns, and Julep's perky diary entries, peppered throughout the narrative, bring intimacy to the wry, often heartfelt story, which stresses that growing up doesn't necessarily mean growing apart from family.
