From the best-selling author of Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie comes the latest story about ten-year-old Celie and the changes in her life.

Celie and her family have moved an hour away from her school and her friends, and the changes don't stop there. At her new school, Celie encounters harder homework and struggles to make friends. She's torn between energetic and intriguing Mary Majors Meade and sweet but shy Charlie Larken, two classmates who do not get along. On top of adjusting to her new school, Celie deals with changes at home when her forgetful Granny and a home nurse move into her family's apartment. When misunderstandings lead to a falling out between Celie's older sister Jo and her boyfriend, Celie is determined to make it right. However, her choices lead to a dangerous situation. Will Celie be able to handle all these new changes in her life?

Once more Celie turns to her diary, filling the pages with heartfelt and often humorous entries, notes, drawings, and pages from her top-secret spy notebook.
Julie Sternberg is the author of The Top-Secret Diary of Celie Valentine series as well as the bestselling LIKE PICKLE JUICE ON A COOKIE and its sequels, LIKE BUG JUICE ON A BURGER and LIKE CARROT JUICE ON A CUPCAKE. She lives in Brooklyn, NY. View titles by Julie Sternberg

Celie remains delightful, and her observations and self-examination are astute." - Booklist
