This multiple-viewpoint novel explores several days in the life of a middle school clique that suddenly shuns one of its members. With poignant, painful detail the author takes us into the mind of each girl involved, brilliantly illuminating the problem of girl-on-girl meanness. Must listening for middle school girls—and the parents who love them!

Reviews:
“This strong audio adaptation is a seamless fit for Koss’s style of using alternating narrators to deliver varying points of view. Full cast continues to cultivate a roster of excellent young performers.” — Publishers Weekly Apr 2003
“This full cast reading is first rate. The story captures the angst of young girls and illustrates how quickly loyalties can change and the devastation shunning can cause… Because the stories are told in the first person, there is a terrific poignancy expressed by the excellent readers. They reveal the underpinnings of each girl’s personality with unfailing precision.” — KLIATT Jul 2004
“…the acting of the young ladies was superb! They sounded very real and believable.” — Audiobook Cafe May 2003
