Too Much Drama

From the Series The Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair

  • Interest Level: Grade 5 - Grade 9
  • Reading Level: Grade 5

A few months into freshman year, April thought her rocky friendship with her childhood BFF, Brynn, was improving. But then Brynn blames April for the breakup with her boyfriend, Billy, and soon other girls on the dance team do too. Meanwhile, April’s cousin Sophie seems to like Billy—and vice versa—putting April awkwardly in the middle. On top of it all, April can’t figure out what to make of being maybe-friends-maybe-more with sixteen-year-old genius Leo, now that he’s leaving for college a few hours away.

As a new calendar year kicks off, April just wants a clean start—but high school is messy business.
