Gigi Stewart and her best friend, Finley, are always together. And everything they do, they document on the Wall-their collage in Gigi's room that holds layers and layers of memories-from movie tickets to magazine ads to embarrassing baby photos-and they never stop adding to it. But when Gigi suggests they start planning their annual joint birthday blowout, Finn just doesn't seem that into it. She's more interested in extra soccer practice than choosing a party theme, or going to cooking class, or having sleepovers with Gigi. Gigi can't help but be hurt, and she's even more upset when she discovers that Finn's been lying about what's she's been doing instead of hanging out with her. Gigi thought she and Finn would be friends forever-but what if ""forever"" is coming to an end?

But what happens when friendship suddenly gets complicated? Tween readers will adore these sweet, accessible stories about the power of friendship. Alice Kinney shouldn't be nervous about starting middle school. She's got her best friend, Cassidy, by her side, so it can't be that bad, right? Except, Cass isn't at her side. For the first time since kindergarten, Alice and Cassidy aren't in any of the same classes, and Alice is stuck with a brand-new crew in honors class! The girls try to stay in touch from across the hallway with the help of a shared notebook-but when Alice accidentally befriends not-so-nice Nikki from Cassidy's dance class, she keeps it to herself. Cass will never understand. Alice juggles both friendships, waiting for the right moment to tell everyone the truth. But then, disaster strikes: Cass's play and Nikki's math competition are fall on the same night. Neither girl will ever forgive Alice if she misses their big day. What is Alice supposed to do when her two best friends are total enemies?
