Ohne die Clique wäre das Leben nur halb so schön, sind sich Maya, Renee, Darcy, Brianna und Candace einig. Candace gibt die Regeln vor und wird von den anderen bewundert, während jede von ihnen aus unterschiedlichen Gründen unfähig scheint, sich ihren Machtspielchen zu entziehen. Candace, die selbst oft gelangweilt von der Leichtigkeit ihrer Manipulationen ist, nährt ihr geringes Selbstbewusstsein mit diesen Erfolgen. Der Kreislauf der Intrigen gerät jedoch ins Wanken, als Maya plötzlich in Ungnade fällt und nicht zur nächsten Übernachtungsparty eingeladen wird. Diese Wendung verändert alles und zwingt die Mädchen, Stellung zu beziehen, was sie in die Schusslinie von Candaces Kritik bringt. Maya beschließt als erste, die Clique zu verlassen, was eine unerwartete Veränderung in Gang setzt. Während Maya, Renee, Darcy und Brianna sich langsam wieder annähern, hat Candace bereits ein neues Opfer im Visier, das ihr bedingungslose Bewunderung entgegenbringt. Das Werk bietet ein spannendes Psychogramm über falsche Loyalität in einer Mädchenclique und wird aus fünf unterschiedlichen Perspektiven erzählt – subtil und humorvoll.
Whether she's spying on tide-pool creatures or splash-crashing through waves on her boogie board, there's no place ten-year-old Kailey loves more than the ocean. She and her best friend Tess feel totally lucky when they find out a resort-mall-movie multi-plex is "Coming Soon!" to their beach. TWELVE movie theaters. Cool shops. A snack bar. Maybe even bathrooms! Then Kailey learns the whole developers plan to haul away the rocky tide pools to make a smooth, sandy beach for tourists. Messing with a whole tide pool universe, and all the creatures who live there, is just plain NOT OKAY. Kailey's got a great idea, but she's never tried anything like it before. If she can believe in herself and make it work, there might be hope for the tide pools yet.
