Sophie Dailey is NOT looking forward to starting middle school. For one thing, she doesn't look like the other kids. Instead of trendy tank tops, she wears high-tech shirts that block UV rays. (Sun protection is serious business!) And she definitely doesn't sound like the other kids either. (She can't say "sweet" or "stan" without making a weird face.) Needless to say, this is probably why her best friend, Ella, ditched her for Queen Bee Morgan. Even worse, Morgan seems intent on making seventh grade miserable for Sophie.
