  Four girls. One summer.  
  And a pact to do the impossible. 
  SKYLER, ELLIE, SCARLETT, AND AMELIA GRACE are forced to spend the summer at the lake house where their moms became best friends. 
  One can’t wait. 
  One would rather gnaw off her own arm than hang out with a bunch of strangers just so their moms can drink too much wine and sing Journey at two o’clock in the morning. 
  Two are sisters. 
  Three are currently feuding with their mothers. 
  One is hiding how bad her joint pain has gotten. 
  All of them are hiding something. 
  One falls in love with a boy she thought she despised. 
  One almost sets her crush on fire with a flaming marshmallow. 
  One has a crush that could change everything. 
  None of them are the same at the end of the summer. 
   
  “This was the summer firefly of a story I desperately wanted. I loved the unfolding relationships and heart-thumping romances in this delicious ode to female friendship. You’ll want to sit on a porch by the lake and read the pages slowly in an attempt to savor each girl’s journey. Intergenerational friendships, a few misunderstandings, even a secret society hidden in a tiny cabin loft—it’s everything you need for a soul-satisfying read that will make you smile long after you’ve turned the final page.”—JAYE ROBIN BROWN, author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit and The Meaning of Birds

  "My name is Gaby, and I'm looking for a home where I can invite my best friend over and have a warm breakfast a couple of times a week. Having the newest cell phone or fancy clothes isn't important, but I'd like to have a cat that I can talk to when I'm home alone."

  From Barbara Dee, the critically acclaimed author of Maybe He Just Likes You, comes a middle grade novel about a girl who makes the choice to speak out against a problematic historical hometown figure no matter the cost—perfect for readers of Dress Coded. 
    
  For as long as Freya can remember, she has loved living in her cozy hometown of Wellstone. Not only is the town itself named for local and historical hero Benjamin Wellstone but everything in it: schools, beaches, and stores. There’s even a giant statue of him to remind everyone of the good things he did. 
    
  But while doing research for a big school project, Freya discovers that Benjamin isn’t the big hero everyone has been taught to believe. He had some redeeming qualities, but he also held incredibly problematic views towards women, believing they shouldn’t have the right to vote—or even to exist outside of the home. Disappointed by her revelation, Freya wonders if she could figure out a way to not only show what the hometown hero was really like but replace his statue with one of an unsung hero: local suffragette Octavia Padgett. 
    
  Though Freya knows not everyone will agree with her, she is shocked when her efforts cause even bigger issues than she could have imagined. Even her own parents seem uneasy with Freya’s cause. With the help of her beloved Nan, friends new and old, and the coolest librarian she’s ever met, can Freya stand firm and tear down outdated views?
