A sensitive, coming-of-age story about bullying, grief, and new experiences for modern middle graders and teens.
Judith and Virginia, best friends since childhood, are headed on an exciting class trip for two weeks at a dreamy castle locale. But Judith just lost her grandmother--and she can't quite shake the grief or fit in with the others. Virginia is determined to win over the popular girls by joining them on their mischievous getaways, leaving her best friend behind. Stuck in her grief and not wanting to let go of childhood just yet, Judith quickly becomes a target of the other girls, turning this into a make-or-break moment for their longstanding friendship.
