About this listen

A gorgeous full-colour coming-of-age novel, perfect for fans of Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Katie Kirby’s The Mega Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks and The Babysitters Club graphic novels

‘READING THIS WAS LIKE A WARM HUG’ – ALICE OSEMAN

Tuva is starting seventh grade, and her checklist of goals includes: writing a diary, getting a cool look, building the best fort in the woods with her BFFs, and sharing EVERYTHING with her best friends. But when she starts school, nothing is how she hoped it would be.

Seventh grade has split her friends into rival factions: Team Linnea and the girls who fall in love and Team Bao and the girls who are still playing. Linnea has a boyfriend, Bao hates everything related to feelings. Worst of all, Tuva is expected to choose a side!

Then Mariam shows up and suddenly things begin to make a little more sense. But with all her friends fighting, this is one part of growing up that Tuva isn’t quite sure how to share . . .
